Well we were supposed to be moving to another Villa in Spain. I go to the estate agents and they announce the landlord wants a 6k bank guarantee and will only give us a 6 month contract. I am like, wtf!?!?!? So I said, fine, he wants a bank guarantee, he isn't getting one, but I'll pay our rent for the next 6 months in advance. But I want a 12 month contract since I have a family coming to stay who need security.
When I went to view the property it needed a lot of work and clearing up done. So I am thinking, this guys spent a bit of money getting it sorted, he just wants guaranteed income for the next 6 months so I don't mind and can understand. So we loose out on having that money ourselves but hey, we get shit interest in our business account so I am not giving a rats arse as it would get used for rent anyway.
I get the keys and go to the new place only to be greeted by someones dog. The yard is still in a fukkin state, weeds all over the place. The garden that was supposed to be cleared was still jungle-esque. And the outbuildings still full of the owners shit..or whoevers shit it is. Basically apart from two wheel barrows of garden waste, nothing much had been done. I go into the house and there's someones change of clothes on the living room chair, bathroom with someones shampoo and stuff. And then clothes in the wardrobe. The yard has dog shit all over the place, and the tennis court the same, dog shit city. The house had a machine in the hallway which looked like an industrial garden weed killing machine. Massive tank set on two wheels, a small motor and a large hose attachment...and then the large pool cleaning machine in the kitchen. I am going insane at this point. So I bid the dog farewell who also has a nice little cushion set up by the front door, lol and tell the Agent that we are not moving in until the landlord does what he is supposed to do.
I am not moving our grow to a place that has someone snooping around and doing whatever they fancy. I might as well set up in the middle of the town square.
It's truly amazing the difference the way people do business here. They are complete arseholes at the best of times. It really does not surprise me that Spain is on the bones of it's own arse. And also why people in different parts of Spain don't get on!! Mind blowing.
Anyway, the plants needed watered so not a complete waste of time.....
Peace, DST
