That's what I like. In the middle of all this coffee nonsense there's someone who's focussed.

Perhaps one of the most onerous changes will be the requirement for Landlords (Residential Rental Providers) to have electrical gas and safety checks completed every 2 years and minimum standards of energy efficient heating in living rooms. We will have more information for you soon but please be assured we will be here to guide and assist you with these new obligations.
Landlords (Residential Rental Providers) will also benefit from changes that clarify what renters are accountable for and updated obligations that are easier to understand. This will give Landlords (Residential Rental Providers) a more transparent relationship with renters and greater confidence that their rental property will be maintained.

So, is a "renter", I would say tenant but what do I know, now to be a Residential Rental Consumer?

FFS! Talk about calling a spade an earth inverting horticultural implement.

I'd try cat **** coffee if it was offered. But I don't know anyone rich enough to serve it.

But I'll bet that if the HWS breaks the Japanese landlord fixes it tout suite.
