Dog Plod

Spent the afternoon printing out all the guff I need for this stupid Short Term Let application.  I can undeerstand there having to be saftey regs, everyone needs them but for god's sakes a plan of the interior including where your beds, cupboards sofas etc are!! I move stuff around my house with such regularity I can't predict where the bloody bed or sofa will be!
Water regs, "note down all dead legs" what the heck is a dead leg! is it some beast that lurks in my water tank that I don't know about!

The local island sparkie that deals with this nonsense is on holiday, the Insurance company said they would send hard copies of all relevant policies as the dude in the office said the ones I scanned weren't clear!!!

All this supposedly to protect the renters, theres nothing about when folks that rent your house decide to trash it, of let their dogs and kids piss all over your house and beds!! You wouldn't believe how manky some folks are. I have got to the stage where I tell them if they don't leave the house as they found it, I will black list them to among all other island letters.
At the end of the day the paperwork generated matters not a jot to the local council, it's your 350 quid they're after.. Yet another stupid licence to print money for them and leave small people out of pocket. The big letting companies in Edinburgh & Glasgow aren't going to be bothered by this, they will just get their lawyers and bean counters to do all the leg work. i hate bureaucracy!
