50 Shades of Grey for landlords and letting agents

Haha these are so funny!

Here's my contribution:

The creaking and moaning crescendoed with the final thrust of their entire being, the sound of ravenous pure ecstasy escaped both of them as they collapsed onto each other on the floor. Greg and Alice had finally managed to get their king size bed up those awfully narrow stairs.

Very true what u said. I started getting a couple of grey strands & a few eye wrinkles when I started dealing with the c__p we get with renting out houses.

Is it any wonder you get a lot of c__p if you rent "out houses" LMAO

I'm off to measure some blades of grass 🙂

With umpteen mortgages my only exit strategy is to jump in the river if all goes pear-shaped;
my hair went fifty shades of grey years ago but dyeing it does a remarkable job
in hiding the anguish caused by bad tenants.

I had to laugh when I read the book ‘Fifty shades of Grey’ since the proposed agreement
between Ana and Christian was as detailed as the wording on my standard tenancy
agreements.

The thing is people are really not very good at keeping to the terms of anything and never
have been – remember The Ten Commandments? Everyone always tries to bend the
rules or thinks the rules don’t apply to their individual circumstances.

Here’s my contribution to your collection of ‘Shades of grey’ pieces. The conversation
between Christian the landlord and Ana his tenant goes something like this:

‘I’ve come for the rent,’ said Christian ’or I’m afraid we’ll have to sever all ties.’

‘Would you like a cup of tea first?’

‘Yes please, Earl Grey would be great if you have any.’

‘No, I only buy English Breakfast’ Ana replied, bye the way I’ve decided I’m not paying you
any rent until you’ve done a few little jobs around the house - for a start the walls of my
front passage are all smelly and mouldy.’

‘I’ll get you some fungicidal spray - that’ll sort it.’ Christian cocked his head to one
side as he gazed at the interior walls of the furnished house he had recently rented out
to Ana. She was clearly going to be hard to satisfy, he thought.

‘Oh, my! Can’t you see how uneven the paint is - it’s fifty shades of grey’ said Anna, biting
her lip. ‘So what are you going to do about all these damp patches?’

‘Damp patches are my speciality,’ said Christian as he gave her a penetrating look with his smouldering grey eyes.

‘The fireplace wall is particularly patchy.’

‘I believe it’s a problem with sweaty breasts Anastasia and I reckon you've probably got something stuck up your flue.’

Ana continued moaning 'Oh and that white metal framed bed you provided creaks a lot – can’t you do something about that?’

‘I sure can but I’m a bit tied up at the moment; you’ll just need a couple of longer screws
I believe.’

‘Are you any good at DIY?’

‘Oh, I’m sorry Mr Grey,’ Ana smiled coyly, ‘no, I’ve never, ever done THAT before.’

‘Really? I don’t believe it! Would you allow me to show you the ropes?’

Hilarious! I've given you the thumbs up for this comment. It could go viral HAHAHA

Ha ha I have three thoughts lol ....

The 50 shades I turned when I read what TMW were planning, now reversed thank goodness !

The giggle my new female tenant let out when I said 'laters' to their various requests ( shelf and cat flap) and the male sparky had to have the term explained!.

Most memetable thou was the rawkus giggles a female friend and I had simultaneously fallen into when we returned to my car after two mins viewing a property (i dragged her along to prior to a girlie coffee out), with an estate agent chap half our age (he looked less than 16 !!! Crucially he wore an identical tie to 'that tie' and thou nothing passed my lips during the viewing I really enjoyed the very firm handshake I gave him before crumbling into a private giggle session with my amused pal. I later had a follow up call from his female boss who also giggled when I said 'sorry the property was lovely but too small to be mortgageable please bear this in mind when marketing future properties to me... However I really enjoyed your chaps tie, last time I saw that it was on the cover of my bed time reading !' She agreed it had been noted by the office ladies too ! He was sooo young looking I could not bring myself to make a naughty comment To his face!
Oh dear that book was hilarious and quite exhausting I admit by the third instalment I was skipping the energetic bits I order to follow the under lying plot !?!

There was a plot?
I gave up after a couple of chapters cos the book was so badly written I couldn't bear it (bare it?) any longer (ooo er missus)
