My tenant demands a view!

No, I'm not talking about a the ability to put forward his opinion.  Thank God though in the UK we have the right to freedom of speech and expression.  Something we take for granted when we moan on about our country and our lot.  No - I'm not talking about high brow principles of emancipation.  The fact is that a couple of my double glazing units have blown resulting in  occasional bouts of condensation.

What is my tenants view
Now I'm not sure what he expects to see out of the window in a pretty bland part of suburban Nottingham.  Perhaps herds of wildebeast sweeping majestically across the plains of West Bridgford!  Anyway, I've got it on my radar to get it fixed before the Winter sets in.  Once I get this fixed and he can see into the great beyond no doubt the next complaint will be:  "that garden is a mess!  Can't you get it landscaped?"

I rent out property myself, but as a tenant at the moment with a 35foot leylandi hedge 15 foot from my living room blocking the light most of the day,what do you do.

as a landlord of several properties and a tenant at present for personal reasons,i do feel you should give your tenants more respect,they pay good money and if there is a problem it should be rectified straight away.
i look at your website daily and always pick up good tips etc,but i do feel you regard tenants as second class citizens,even though the majority are paying more in rent than they would do with an average mortgage.

Fair point Dave. I agree tenants do deserve respect. As with any work or occupation, it is nice to have a good whinge every now again though. Don't you think?
