and in March asked if she can reduce her rent by 70% for a few months, which we agreed to.
Found out today she's been paying off other debts (presumably loans/credit cards) before us.
Is it unreasonable to insist she sends us a full breakdown of her finances, including take-home pay, outgoings, savings, etc?
People can be rather touchy on this. not sure you can ask for that info might lead to a ****storm.Quote:

I'd rather have the £2.6k she currently owes me, tbh, but all things being equal it's fair to say I would absolutely trolly her, yes.Quote:

attractive? As her landlord she is your chattel. The only problem is whether she can stomach to be mounted by a skinny fop like you.Quote:

All loan/credit card companies are offering payment holidays.Quote:

Anything else undermines the whole point of having done something nice and, as Pokster says, makes you a bit of a ****.Quote:
