Great Landlord Cleans Up Dirty Tenants

BinBagCleanUp

PDPLA member, Warren Somerset had an HMO with a serious bin problem and a bunch of tenants who all denied responsibility for the mess in the forecourt. After investing in CCTV and doing a bit of conscientious landlording, problem solved. 

What Happened? 

Warren said, "I had a large Portsmouth HMO which was below the standard one expects of a well managed property. I had excess rubbish not making it to the bin, smoking in the rooms and people throwing cigarette butts on the utility room roof, people non resident unofficially living in the property and various other issues.

Everyone always denied responsibility or blamed someone else in the house and nothing ever improved - am sure you know the routine.

So I bit the bullet and installed CCTV complete with hard drive and cloud recording, watching the bins and the front and back doors. Lo and behold the perpetrators where flushed out and when they did not change their behaviour they were given notice. The best £350 I ever spent / best bang for my buck.

Next? 

We wish to categorically state that there is absolutely no truth to the rumour that Warren is now planning to find the guilty party who seems unable to put the toilet seat down....
