An explanation re housing

anniebach
We know that there is no need to explain.

Anyone who doubts otherwise is either unkind for whatever reason or has not had the experience of the real world that you have.

I think that you are upset and there is absolutely no need to be.

virtual but the sentiments behind them are real.

It's nobody's business about your renting, well done sounds like a good plan Annie but you shouldn't feel u have to explain

Yes, absolutely ridiculous to accuse you of being a hypocrite - most of us knew exactly what you meant (although not about your nephews, of course).

Well if no one had houses for rent , where would people live ? You are doing a good job , nothing wrong , some people !!!

Anybody who has read your posts, over most/all topics, knows that you are a conscionable person Anniebach . You don't have to justify yourself to anyone and those that demanded that you do, just don't matter. Leave them to deal with their own consciences. Yours is clear.

I didn't see the first post but I don't think you need to explain and justify why you rent properties. Lots of people do this and many people need the properties. You sound very conscientious and caring about the tenants and I am sure there are many thousands of landlords who could not care less about tenants so very well done you! Haemophilia is a serious illness to live with and your nephews are lucky they have so many caring relatives to support and help them x

No need for explanations annie

annie - your post is very detailed about the health and financial/business arrangements of family members including facts which could lead to them ( and maybe you) being identified. Anyone can read the post - I wonder if you've considered this?

Anniebach
I was a student in Cardiff - I wish you had been my landlady!
Well done for giving people nice places to live.

Annie, I've not seen the other posts but can tell you are upset and just wanted to give you a hug.

maryeliza Annie has been a poster on GN for a long time and I'm sure she gave due consideration to the content of her post before going ahead.

Anniebach I am cross with you.

I know you are an intelligent woman and would have thought carefully before starting this thread, but why did you feel that you owed anyone an explaination with regards to the properties you manage? Certainly no-one here!

What you/your family do with regards to money and property is your own business and I am very surprised you have allowed some nosy parkers/holier than though/sarcastic..... Posters to get to you .

I'm with maryeliza and I think you should perhaps considering asking HQ to take this thread down. I'm worried there is too much personal information.

I remember Rigsby advising me the same as Maryeliza,

Thank you all. I didn't need to explain and the explanation was for those who had been kind when I spoke about it not to the far left group .

There are many bad landlords but there are good ones too , as there are good and bad in all walks of life.

Thanks x

Chewbacca - well that's fine then. I was actually only trying to be helpful. I read a story once ( can't remember the details) but someone on Mumsnet was outed( along with the person she was posting about) through a post and it caused a family/friendship rift because of the identifying details she had posted.

Annieb I hadn't realised that anybody had been unpleasant to you about renting properties ( haven't been reading many threads recently due to lack of time.)
It's their problem not yours. So take no notice.
There will always be those who want to carp at something.

Anniebach

Anniebach I wish I had done the same as you years ago when I had the opportunity. All credit to you and how you have helped a lot of people along the way.

I'm away with intermittent wifi. Yesterday, I posted sending some support to Annie but the wifi ate the post.
Annie I haven't seen the comments that hurt you and led to this defensive post. You're absolutely right, there are good and bad landlords, as there are good and bad doctors, nurses, teachers, police officers, the list is endless - it's people, some are kinder and more concerned with trying to live a decent life and avoid exploiting or hurting others. I'd say you fit into the second group.

Anniebach cariad no need to explain. Anyone with any sense would understand. Don't get upset now ?

annie
All kind hearted posters knew the truth. I too remember a poster called Rigsby ( who we don't hear from now) giving the same advice

Annie

I didn't see the previous posts Annie but don't be upset, you sound as if you have done marvellous things for your family and very ethical renting for your tenants. Your financial circumstances are nobody's business but your own don't worry about spiteful people's opinions. Hold your head up high you have done nothing to be ashamed off. Sending you lots of love.

Again thank you, I chose to say I was involved in renting properties and was prepared for some sarcasm but admit not to the extent dished out. So I chose to explain to those who were kind to me just what I was being judged by some for doing. Such a pity some don't ask a direct question not leap in to judge and attack.

But at least I have explained not everyone does work to feather their own nests. And if I may show off? I have requests for student accommodation from Mums whose children did live in our accommodation asking for the same for their children who hope to go to the university ?

It saddens me to read of squalid rents, poor tenants.

Yes Petra, same advice from a poster now gone and a poster just arrived.

One more thing, boys are tidier than girls

Annie How awful are some people you just go and ignore them
You are doing a fantastic service and should be proud of yourself.
I wish my DS could find a landlord with your families commitment to their tenants instead of the money grabber he has at present,never around for repairs but on the ball to check the rent has been paid.
