Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Perdita]

I know Jason has left Coronation Street but I believe he is still in the UK ... so why, when normally residents that rarely clap eyes on each other seem to have their mobile phone numbers, why did Steph or Michael did not phone him to ask his opinion of the rent increase and since when is decorating your home a reason for eviction? I understand that you need to put things as they were when you leave, if the landlord insists but while you are still living there you can decorate to your own taste?

Many private landlords don't allow people to decorate without permission including painting, drilling holes in walls etc. However, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't apply to Jason...

As to the rest of your post, you should know that people who leave Coronation Street cease to exist.

I would not drill holes etc but wallpaper/painting walls to your design surely must be allowed without fear of eviction? I realise that if the landlord insists, you need to repaint to original colour and yeah, even moving down the road means no more contact ever with family or friends

Not all private tenants are entitled to decorate their homes without permission. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure how it works, but you've got me wondering so I've done some reading and found this advice to private landlords on a government site:

You will usually be responsible for outside decoration to the property and for decoration inside. However, you may agree with your tenant that they can undertake internal decoration work. For the avoidance of doubt, these arrangements should be made clear in the tenancy agreement.

Also, I found the following comment underneath a blog post in reference to renting in England:

Dear Landlords - You many own the building, but please let us make the house our home. I can't even secure the furniture in my baby's room or put any decoration up. YAY! A lovely magnolia nursery for the baby and a lovely magnolia bedroom for my 3 year-old.

I lived in quarters provided by the MoD and yes, at times was told to repaint a wall or two at pre.walkout inspection but as long as standards met on leaving, even if the colour did not match previous tennant´s choice, all was good, no fine

I doubt Jason or Eileen know what a tenancy agreement is. It would be just " Oh you want to rent my flat? Ok then . You can move in tomorrow""

True, but it's possible Tony had a hand in it when he was living in Weatherfield and helping Jason run the business. He was the type to be on the ball about things like that. Or possibly even Owen initially set one up (I think Steph moved in with Tina when Owen owned the builder's yard and flat).

To be honest, I'm sure Phelan wouldn't have read any tenancy agreement even if one existed so he was talking out of his backside either way.

I sort of miss Jason, I liked the sibling relationship between him and Todd.
