If you have fond memories of growing up in Southampton 80 years ago then you'll love your tenancy with Lionel Thipthorpe. Following some unprecedented demand from HM Revenue and Customs I had no choice but to live in one of his properties and see it for myself, and it was everything Freya said, and more!
The tenancy got off to a great start when on welcoming us to the house he transparently and unceremoniously stated that we would have £250 slashed from the deposit to allow the carpets to be hoovered professionally by his own mother and the extractor fan unit to be unscrewed from the oven hood. He then put this in writing with a truly astonishing amount of spelling mistakes and misused apostrophes, alongside some totally illegal clauses, such as that in the event the house sells the lead tenant will be notified by text message and you'll all be forced to vacate in 2 weeks. Exam season? Sorry, out you go!
There's nothing I really need to say that hasn't already been said by Freya. Once, during his half-an-hours-notice-surprise quarterly inspection he talked about his property investments around Southampton for 45 minutes, openly boasted about the several hundred pounds he had lost on Dover Athletic bets, and finally yelled at me for not hoovering the stairs before slamming the door and leaving for his next appointment in what I can assume was just another day in the fast-paced life of a Tory little englander.
I genuinely think this man is the most entitled person I've ever met. It's like renting from Margaret Thatcher, except he's uglier, shorter, and even more demented. If there's one saving grace it's that you won't get your deposit back, so don't bother cleaning the house properly because it really isn't worth it. Please stay away and find somewhere else.
