Bardeh posted:The new Kent infection that's being reported today is near me, in Maidstone Studios - a big office building with people coming and going from all over the place because they also record TV shows there. A lot of our IT dept. are coughing, and hand sanitiser has become mandatory. Due to some work culture thing - e.g. food free for all on Fridays, if one person in IT has it, we probably all have it. (I'm not at Maidstone studios)

Lungboy posted:Getting rid of tenants can take *forever* if they know their rights and you don't follow the correct procedure to the absolute letter, and even then it might take months. Also, if you need a mortgage then you'll have to get a BTL mortgage as you need vacant possession for a standard mortgage. It's a huge nightmare and I wouldn't recommend it. My mortgage situation is sorted, so this is really about the morality of the whole thing than the pragmatics. I'm currently renting but I don't mind it taking months as long as my current place doesn't insist on a full year's contract and lets me roll with a couple of months notice before leaving.

Two month's notice and that's it if done properly as far as I'm aware. The issue is that I don't want to be a massive loving rear end in a top hat and kick people out onto the street with 2 month's notice and even the thought of giving them a full year doesn't sit well with me because I am still kicking people out of their home. Yes, it could happen for lots of other reasons, especially if the place is for sale, but that doesn't mean I want to be the one doing it.

Trin Tragula posted:I'm confused about why it's apparently ok and fine and dandy to be telling hi-larious jokes that can't possibly be told without chanting Trump's slogans, but never mind that is the joke? I mean if people don't like it, that's fine. If there's a story about it causing wider issues due to surging popularity and wider reach, exposing it to people who don't understand the context, or encouraging problematic attitudes and behaviour in leftist political circles then cool - tell that story. Don't just go to a drat chapo live show and quote lines at face value with feigned horror to create a news piece, it just sounds silly and desperate The more important question is why Cum Town (assuming that's THE NAME THAT CANNOT BE PRINTED, come on nyt it's obviously latin) is apparently a leftist thing. I know they're podcast buddies and all but both times I listened to it they were just doing slurs over and over and giggling. I might be missing something here, but what is the thing I'm missing

But seriously, by buying and not being a dick about it you're at least preventing the alternative likelihood that someone who just wants to kick them out and get new tenants shoved in buying it. baka kaba posted:The more important question is why Cum Town (assuming that's THE NAME THAT CANNOT BE PRINTED, come on nyt it's obviously latin) is apparently a leftist thing.

There are grounds to remove tenants to move back in (ground 1 I believe) but you have to serve notice before the start of the tenancy and if it goes to court you'll have to prove that you lived there and will actually be moving back in (and not selling or reletting or letting your cousin move in). Basically there is no "easy" way to get tenants out legally. Even a guaranteed eviction can take up to 6 months. The reason most don't is because of ll harassment, threats of poor references, tenants not knowing their rights or just not being able to live with the stress. (Many moons ago I worked in a lettings agency)

Yes, it could happen for lots of other reasons, especially if the place is for sale, but that doesn't mean I want to be the one doing it. I suppose you could buy it and just wait until they just naturally decided to leave and then move in. The average tenancy in the uk is 20 months so chances are they might not even be in there a year from you buying it. But it could be forever. I guess you could probably have a good guess how long they were likely to stay from the place/the area/who they appeared to be. You would of course be a landlord that whole time though so...

As others have said, simply being the owner and wanting to live in the house is invalid in this case as you must have lived in it previously. You also have no idea what the current landlord has done in terms of gas safe certs, EPC form, deposit protection etc and could find any s21 or s8 to be invalid. There's also the chance that whoever is living there would need rehoming by the council, but they will only do that when the tenant is homeless, which means they will fight any attempt at eviction for as long as possible because they have to or the council won't touch them.

whoever is in charge of the bbc one programme informing the public about the coronavirus needs to be fired they have a health professional saying: - it's still a matter of if the virus will spread in the uk (we already have documented cases of it spreading with no known origin) - we need to keep perspective, the flu has killed more people so far (uh........................) - avoid face masks they're needed by health professionals and need to be disposed of after use (correct, for once) - don't worry about mail/packages, the virus just survives on hard surfaces for a few hours (umm.. we have no evidence of that, the paper on sars-equivalent viruses surviving on stainless steel at 4c were up to 28 days) they're not being proactive at all and are still trying to react and contain it way too late to avoid panic

Becoming an accidental landlord chat: Also don't forget that in most local authorities these days you will have to register to be a landlord and that could cost anything from £35 to £500 and from the very near future you could get done for cold houses or mouldy houses let alone all those certificates mentioned by Lungboy.

My limited understanding of the virus (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is that it is contagious for up to 2 weeks before any symptoms appear, and also for a period of time after the symptoms disappear. Younger people are often barely affected, just having a minor sniffle. Some people can show no symptoms themselves, but carry the virus and are able to spread it. Unless you can keep the front door locked for a few months, I don't think there's any way of stopping this from becoming a 1918-like pandemic (statistically, we're overdue one). People can't afford to quarantine themselves, especially now that many people work hand-to-mouth on zero hour contracts. Add to that limited access to subsidised healthcare for those in China and the US amongst other places, this is unstoppable. As it was pointed out to me earlier today, the containment of this virus is limited to the weakest links in our chain, and capitalism has created many weak links. I got repeatedly sneezed and coughed upon by a toddler the other day at the supermarket checkout, from above, as the mother swung the child from left to right at her hip. I was stuck in my wheelchair with a person behind, so I couldn't even back away from the splatterings if I wanted to. The checkout area was covered in the kid's mucus and saliva. He'd even splatted the chip and pin keypad. I don't blame the kid, as he was really ill. I don't blame the mother either, as she probably had nobody to care for the sick child whilst she shopped. That's the society we live in. I rarely fall ill due to an over-active immune system, but I've had cold like symptoms for the past 3 days (luckily not typical coronavirus symptoms)... but it just goes to show how it's impossible to contain anything in our current society. That kid could have potentially infected 100+ customers after me as they used the bagging area. Good luck, and stock up on food + essentials. P.S. I quietly bowed out of the discord because my own mental health struggles was potentially affecting others in the channel. As soon as I'm re-balanced, I'll be back. Miss you guys.

Borrovan posted:Beavertown & Camden Town breweries are union busters. Pass it on. You got me reading about union busters online & I came across this hell article on a hell site: https://blog.unionproof.com/union-buster-stop-using/ "Union-buster is a divisive term, once meant to rally workers but now used to accuse employers who are often operating with the best interests of their employees in mind. It conjurers up images of strike-breaking and suggests that those who champion a union-free operating environment are “bad guys” who will do anything to keep employees down, including violence or other illegal activities. It implies a divide-and-conquer mindset, where union-free businesses and labor organizations are just out to destroy each other. But in a global economy, where companies seek out the best talent to help the business succeed, that kind of divisiveness has no place and will not help anyone succeed." I want to die

Pretty pissed off that she's gone into work without telling anyone about it until after the fact though. You'd like to think that anyone returning from that hotel would have been tracked and tested, but I have no idea if that's the case or not.
