Gas / fire maintenance requires specific training and passing a test in order to do it. Hardly the same thing. Ohhh I live in a block of flats and someone is bleeding their own radiators...are they insane ? A bit of what? Assuming you're not just being a dick, the issue isn't the radiator. It's that it's not his responsibility. I used the gas maintenance to oppose your changing of a lightbulb. But if you want to continue with the light bulb fine. What if the renter has a disability and can't change a light bulb ,bleed a radiator... I remember living in a flat in uni with high ceilings and we had no ladder in the place provided by the landlord and were climbing on chairs and using boxes to get high enough to change a lightbulb.

Guest milne_afc Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 What if the radiator requires more than bleeding? How would an untrained idiot know? What if bleeding the radz causes further issues in the heating system? Who’s to blame? Because that’s what it’ll come down to when the untrained idiot wants to move out and asks for their deposit to be returned. Factored living is coming anyway and the yoots of the day will be dreaming of being fucked in the arse by unscrupulous landlords. Link to comment

Property investment can be fair, and it can be a good solution for the landlord to provide themselves with a safe steady income. It works in many countries similar to ours in other ways. So I think just saying "it's immoral" isn't the solution. It's immoral to hoard housing. "Good solution for the landlord" Of course its a good solution for a landlord. They are guaranteed to make money, more or less. It's a great solution, if you're lucky enough to be able to afford multiple houses. I disagree, presenting the need for housing as a moral issue, akin to the providing of water, food, to people who need it, is probably the best way around it. If housing is viewed purely through the means of profit/loss, it's actual purpose, to house and protect people, is lost. It shouldn't be viewed as a commodity, more so an essential right.

I think the main issue is price, which comes down to supply and demand and we need more supply and better efficiency of use with what we already have. Fairer terms for renters (I think it's getting there slowly in Scotland) is probably a big issue too. Another factor is the quality of housing in all sectors is pretty terrible. Agree. add in more shared equity deals with local authorities. But, ultimately, build more houses. Affordable houses. This was the problem with thatcher’s right to buy scheme. It helped millions own property that wouldn’t otherwise have done so but hindered millions by removing millions of good quality council houses. Actual houses with front and back garden not high rise shoeboxes. Link to comment

I’m not disagreeing with the points you are regurgitating. I said one or two houses. Anyway what’s your thoughts on a solution? Link to comment

Anyway what’s your thoughts on a solution? More public housing, higher taxes on those who want to abuse the private market, rental caps for areas appropriate to income. That's my solution in the current society The back of my brain says, remove their heads from their shoulders and redistribute the houses to who need them That's just me tho. Link to comment

I’m great at it, put them in the machine, close the door, press 2 buttons, open the door after it’s finished. Detergent, softener and peroxide even go in automatically. Beats working for a living.
