FREE tenancy agreement
FREE landlord softwareThe tenant Sally Sinclair was stabbed to death by her husband. The woman's inheritance of £13,000 has been paid to the landlord Patrick and Maureen Langdown to pay for the replacement of carpets, furnishings and re-decoration.
The money was hoped to of been an inheritance for her twin boys.
I think the ethics are open to debate, however I do think it should be remembered that these landlords are not a large corporation that can write off those kinds of costs.

Firstly, this is a tragedy.
I personally don't think its unethical for the landlord to get the inheritance as compensation for the damages which is a lot as stipulated in the article.
I do however feel that the following is an absurd claim especially since the value of the house did in actual fact increase.
"Another £15,446.06 was attributed to ‘blight’ – with the Langdowns claiming Mrs Sinclair’s death had caused both the value of the property and its rental income to plunge."
