E-post til the Landlord. (In Norwegian)

If your rent and monies off the arrears come in on a

regular basis i dont have a problem but if it doesnt I will go to court to

get you out, nothing in this life Eric is for FREE!! and I am sick of your

false promises pay your rent and I dont have a problem, you must have

received housing benefit by now, also may I remind you you couldnt

book in to a hotel and stay for free. The comment over hot water our

Maintainance Department have checked you job reports and on the few occasions

you have reported works they have been completed, I have given the works out

that you gave last week I will however chase them up.

Regarding throw-out letter

Hi Lorna,

I checked a bit about my rights on the internet, after I got your letter

yesteday about throwing me out.

It says:

As a

tenant, you have the right to adequate living facilities such as hot and cold

water, heating, electricity, ventilation, toilet facilities and a drainage

system. If the house you are in does not meet health and safety standards you

may be able to take legal action.

So I have the right to have hot

water, which I haven't had for almost two years now.

It also says:

A landlord can ask the court to decide if eviction is

necessary if: you've broken the terms of your contract (i.e. trashed the place);

you're consistently late in paying the rent; you lied about yourself to get the

place; you're unemployed (in cases where having a job was a condition of the

contract).

So you can't just throw me out, as

I understand it.

I know I have had problems

paying the rent, but I've been un-employed and self-employed and underpaid

working on behalf of Packaging Europe,

and I also wrongly lost my job at

Arvato, working on behalf of Microsoft, like I explained to you, in

2006.

And it's not easy for me to

get control of my life, when I haven't got hot-water in my flat.

I'm trying to get control, and I

will pay the rent, but I don't think it's fair that I should pay the whole rent,

when I haven't even got hot-water,

washing machine, stove, and it

isn't fully furnitured eighter, I have to use the bed-tables for the TV in the

living room etc, and the heather isn't

working in the bath.

You have promised me many time

to fix this problems, but nothing had happened.

I haven't got anywhere else to

live, you see, so it's not to make problems, but I have to get a job, and find

another place to live first, you can't

just expect me to live on the

street.

So I hope you can fix the

hot-water at least, which I have contacted you about many times.

Sorry again with the delays

with the rent, but I'm going to get a study-loan, from Norway, in the automn, so

then I can afford to pay the full

rent again, since that's quite a

lot.

Sorry about the delay

again!

Yours sincerely,

Erik
