Too Hot or Not

[John042]

This is a good one, had a call from a landlord, not one of those landlords we cherish but one of them multi hovel owning types. He was quizzing me as to whether or not he was likely to be sued by his tennant. The property concerned has a very small kitchen and the tennant is threatening to sue the landlord if he doesn’t put an extractor fan (there is already a cooker hood, vented out) in the kitchen. The reason, it gets so hot if you use the cooker, he is in fear of being driven to pass out and this may happen while cooking or wielding a large pan of chip fat. this clearly leading to him being in mortal danger. oh and the oil may leak onto the elderly couple who rent the hovel on the floor below causing them to die as well. Anyone reckon this has legs or have I met my first disaster theorist / exagerist

You get some toppers down there John you really do.

Is there any chance they might leave the door open to the kitchen? But in all honesty I’ve never heard of such a thing and, if it passed building controls, then I’d suspect that it’d be fine.

Personally I’d recommend the tennant spend a bit more and get a bigger property or find some “help”. 😉

Re: Too Hot or Not

Hi Ken,

Oh yeah, Toppers is real close to what I have called some of them before now. I had the pensioner stood at the counter for twenty minutes singing “I demand a full refund please” at the top of her lungs. And no I did not know she had held a mortgage in the borough for twenty five years, I did offer her a cup of tea in case she got a little horse. When she left telling me she was going to tell her friends all about me I helpfully advised telling both of them.
I had a ten inch carving knife tapped against the cabinet of an American style fridge freezer with the comment “It will be fixed by four wont it”, you can guess the answer to that one.
Upon meeting seven Rotwiellers at a gated property I ventured to ask if they would be ok with me walking backward and forward to the van. yes he said “They’ve only just finished eating the last W****r to come and try to fix the machine”, I ventured to the van once and once only, just to leave you understand. I declined to repair an Aquavac once, from a dentists, full of spit so it was, I guess I just didn’t feel the need for that small amount of profuit that day. So yes I manfully do battle with my fair share of loonies and losers.
