Doctor Who | 11.01 The Woman Who Fell to Earth

[pers-books]

My landlord turned up on Saturday evening and let himself into the house while I was in the bathroom upstairs. He said he'd come to "fix something", but what he actually did was hoover all the carpets upstairs, remove the shower curtain, lock the doors of the two rooms used by the former tenants, then remove two of the three landing light bulbs, which means that there's no longer any ambient light from the streetlights to make up for the missing bulbs, so the landing is now very poorly lit at night.

He also removed the door wedges from the kitchen and dining room doors. I know that they're fire doors and ought to be left shut, but they've always been propped open since before I moved in and he never once objected until now - when everyone else has moved out. The fire doors are bloody heavy so I can't open them with my elbow as I used to do at my old place, so I need them propped open to go through when I'm carrying a tray or glass of water since I walk with a stick and I don't have three hands!

He turned up again on Sunday, again without prior notice (which he's not allowed to do) and I heard him loudly saying something about the fire doors being shut. I assume he was talking to me, but since the door to my room was actually closed, it seems a bit idiotic if he was talking to me.

He still hasn't had the broken washing machine fixed or replaced, nor has he fixed the downstairs toilet, so I still have to drag myself upstairs to use the toilet. And, of course, I have to haul my washing to the launderette (over a half a mile in total) to get it clean, which causing me further pain in my knee, as well as costing me an extra £5 every time I go there.

Today (Tuesday 24th June) he turned up before lunch (unannounced, as usual) with someone else to fix the leaking stopcock in the hallway. I went to make myself some lunch and he manhandled me, grabbing my arm and shoving at me, as he tried to prevent me from having the dining room propped open so that I could carry my lunch tray through to my room. He yelled at me and didn't want to let me explain why I needed the door propped open, ie, that the fire door closes viciously fast (in 3 seconds) and hard, and since I walk with a stick while also carrying my tray, I cannot get through the door without it slamming into my back. (And no, I can't eat in the dining room - there's literally no furniture in there any more except the built in cupboard and my own cupboard which holds my crockery and also stuff like tea, breakfast cereal, etc.)

I have reported this assault to the police as it left me shaking violently and suffering from a panic attack. In fact the shakes lasted for three hours until I took a Diazepam tablet.

He seems absolutely determined to make the house into as hostile an environment as possible and to intimidate me at every turn. The most idiotic thing about this situation is that if he had issued the Section 21 Notice back in February, when he told us he wouldn't be renewing our tenancy agreement because he was "selling up", we wouldn't be in this situation as the local council would've had four months to house me.

In 2021 you made a post about Kate Shemirani. Well today, a BBC article was released about an interview with her sons. Their sister, Kate's daughter, died after Kate brainwashed her into believing her pseudo medicine. Paloma Shemirani, who had been brainwashed, manipulated, and abused all her life, passed away from cancer because he mother had convinced her that chemotherapy was a scam. Paloma never underwent any mainstream treatment, instead opting for veganism and coffee enemas. After her passing, Kate has once again started branding the NHS the 'National Homicide Service', and has gone on countless podcasts to accuse them of murdering her daughter.

So yeah. That piece of shit just got even more evil over time. Luckily her sons managed to get out of the toxicity and believe in science and medicine.

Christ!

It's about time that woman was locked up.

Back in February I mentioned that my landlord's selling up.

In actual fact, he's not. Allegedly, it's because the property is owned by his parents and he's their proxy landlord. (Sounds like bollocks to me, but whatever!)

However, the stupid bastard STILL has NOT issued a Section 21 notice giving me 2 months notice to leave. Which is, ya know, a LEGAL requirement. It's fine for my other three housemates as they've all gone for more private rentals, but I am fed up of being at the whim of bloody private landlords (this being the second time in two years I've had to move), so I'm trying to get a council place. But to do that, I need the aforementioned Section 21 notice. He is withholding it - out of spite, so far as I can see. He claims he cannot issue it until the last day of tenancy (Thursday), which is, of course, utter bollocks.

Anyway, the council are now investigating him for renting without a licence - not something you can do in my area! He could get fined £30,000, be barred from renting out any properties in my area, and I *could* get up to a year's worth of rent repaid (which'd be nearly eight and a half grand!).

In the meantime, my anxiety is through the roof, and my physical health is suffering thanks to the fact that our downstairs toilet (the one I, as a mobility impaired person, relied upon) is out of action. About 3 weeks ago we noticed the overflow pipe outside was leaking. He said he'd fix it, but has failed to do so, and to ensure I cannot use the toilet and just heave a bucket of water down it to flush it, he's removed the toilet seat, too. So now I have to struggle up and down the fucking stairs multiple times a day, which is causing me the sort of agony that I haven't experienced in about 12 years, not since my then evil ex-boss buggered off to Pakistan on a 3 month visit to family and left me working 54 hours a week (over 6 days) running his goddamn shop for him.

Additionally, the washing machine has broken down and he has an illegal (of course!) clause in our tenancy agreement that says the washing machine and tumble dryer are provided 'as a goodwill gesture' and if they break down, we're responsible for their repair/replacement. So now I have to drag my clothes over half a mile to the launderette to get it washed - which is costing me an additional £5 a week that I can ill afford since the cost of food continues to rise.

(Let's not go into the fact that I have two other sources of anxiety, right now - the fact that the bastard LABOUR Government (not the fucking Tories, of whom I'd expect it!) are threatening to inflict massive cuts on the welfare bill: meaning I could lose my monthly Personal Independence Payment (£300 a month) and also have my Universal Credit payment cut. As if I'm not already struggling financially!)

Nor shall we cover the fact that the bastard Supreme Court agreed that 'woman' legally refers to biological sex, so trans women are, according to them, men, and therefore all us trans (and yes, non-binary people are trans!) folx are now in danger of being (il)legally* discriminated against. So, you know, fuck Joke Rowling and her money which paid for the court case.

*The SC ruling is, in fact, legal bollocks, according to legal experts, but that's not going to stop anyone, of course!)

So, if you were wondering how I am, the answer is struggling badly.

ETA: Someone suggested I add my PayPal in case anyone's able to help me out.
