Somebody smashed my windscreen

[bolt pp]

You are more likely to get some joy from talking to the landlord. Might be worth popping round to let them know your plans, and point out to them that post-uni they will likely be looking to rent elsewhere, and the first point of contact for a reference is the previous landlord.

why would you contact the landlord? the guy's done nothing, his mates did but he got in touch with them and got them to come round. tbf he's done everything you'd expect him to and now you want to grass to his landlord. what more do you expect either the guy or the landlord to do? unless of course the landlord's a windscreen repair man in which case call him

Four reasons.

Firstly, its an extra point of leverage. Maybe they've had other complaints and will bottle it when they realise they could get their lease terminated and pay up the £95.

Assuming it goes beyond that and they don't pay up...

Secondly, because the guys did it while they were visiting his premise. I'd say there was a moral obligation on the neighbour to get this sorted.

Thirdly, because the stronger the reaction this time, the less likelihood there is of it happening again. Their course could easily have another couple of years to run so they could be neighbours for quite a while.

Fourthly, because Josedinho already told them that's what he was thinking of doing so all he is doing is playing straight and making clear he isn't going to be messed around.

If they don't like it, well, fuck them. They are the ones with the idiot friends. I don't see how you can say he's done everything you'd expect him to do. First he denied having mates round. When that was exposed as a lie he basically phoned them, accepted their denial, shrugged his shoulders and said 'case closed'.

One man's grass is another man's law abiding citizen.

I've rented out a couple of flats in the past, and the contract terms these days are pretty draconian. For example in the contract I use, the following clause if breached is sufficient to allow the landlord to give notice to the tenant..

"12.1   The Tenant shall not (nor allow others to) cause nuisance or annoyance to the Landlord, other tenants or any neighbours."

I don't want any tenants who cause grief for the neighbours. it's bad for me, bad for the neighbours, and bad for prices. If I were the landlord in this case and it was a first offence I'd tell them if it happened again they were out, and I'd definitely pressure them to pay up for the damages.

fuck all that

throw a bottle at their car, just gimme the addres, i'll do it.

boldie will rob the gaff after

[action man]

a think a slap was in order here, no way i see someone throw something at my car and do nothing. Mind you thats why i have a bind over for a minor incedent, which involved someone throwing a bottle at me.

I got cautioned once when i was 15 and they called my parents, thats the extent of bolts involvement with the police!

I would like to say my involvment in the smashed window incident was precipitated by my quest for social revolution but the truth is it was a friday night and we were all drinking thunderbirds and some fit girl dared me to do it!

lol at this.

so a strong reaction to someone who hasn't done anything will make them less likely to do something in the future even though they didn't do anything this time? you don't think it might just piss them off a little bit?

if I was the tenant who has done nothing wrong and has made an effort to sort it out and you go running to grass to my landlord you'll probably find that your house windows are put through very soon

[Josedinho]

This whole situation is starting to piss me off, someone best smash someone elses windscreen pretty soon or i'm just gonna turn up and start smashing windscreens at random soon

I haven't yet identified all their cars yet and if one of them were to be damaged i'm sure it would just be coincidence and nothing to do with this incident.

Is a bottle the best way to go? Bottle glass harder than windscreen glass? If the bottle smashes it makes noise and leaves it very obvious something deliberate has happened.

There were extenuating circumstances.
I made a judgement call at the time that calming the situation rather than rolling out for a brawl would look better to the female company i was keeping.

As I pointed out in my previous post, they have done something wrong. In fact they've already done enough wrong that in all likelihood they could legally be evicted.

If I owned the flat I'd want to be told.

they've done what wrong? other people did something then went into their house. when they found out about it they got the people responsible to come and see the victim. good luck with getting them evicted for that
