Okay so I have had my 11 year old QH Paint for 3 years now, but this year is nothing like I've ever seenI live in rural east TN near the mountains and we're having nighttime temperatures in the teens and wind chills even lowerShe has done 'okay' in past winters but this year she's not doing so well and I've decided to get a blanketShe does have a barn, and even though it does have a door that I close at night it is more like a run-in shelter than a barn because it is so openI'm just going to put it on her only at nightWhat kind would you suggest? (Please note I have never worked with blankets before and this is my first horse!) Thanks for reading!
That is illegalCheck your fine print on your lease to be sure he didn't try to include that in there, and if he did you can still take him to court for itThat's illegal and you have every right to not pay those bills and to fight itThey are responsible for those repairs, not youThat comes with building maintenance, and if the apartment complex is too cheap to make those repairs that they are doing an illegal activity by assuming tenants are too stupid to question the maintenance bills in their mailboxes, then I'd move as soon as my lease was upJust be sure from now on when you drop your rent check, bring a receipt book for him to sign saying he received the checkHe seems slimey so I wouldn't take any chances with anything.
no the landlord cannot bill the tenants for any form of general repairs unless he can prove it was the tenants that caused the damage or faults,if i were you i would go to citizens advice and ask for their help as they have their own solicitors that deal with this every day and take any letters from your landlord with you
I have never heard of a landlord doing thisRepairs on the building is the landlords responsibility to insure your dwelling is safeThey can however raise the rent periodically to cover higher taxes or the cost of repairsThey need to be careful with this as it may be harder to find tenantsUnless the lease you signed stated that you would be responsible for building repairs I would not pay themMost leases state the rent amount that you are responsible for and nothing elseIf the landlord then tries to evict you then I would call a lawyer.
First thing you should do is make sure you read the lease real goodMost leases specifies what the tenant and owner is responsible forI have also never heard of tenants paying for roofs, elevators and new mailboxes, I mean isn't that what the rent is for right? I would check to see what the local housing rules are for your city/state where you live inYou could probably find that info in your phonebookFor some reason I find it hard to believe that it is legal what they are doingDo the other tenants say anything about this? Because if the landlord been doing this for years, they are probably going to try to find a way to get rid of you for stirring up trouble, so be careful about how you go about thisI live in a huge apartment complex myself and I would be very mad if the landlord sent me a bill on a new roofIf you are like me, my money is already tight and so that would be an unexpected expense that I had not counted on paying forYou might also want to talk to your local Legal Aid who might can give you advice and more info on how to deal with the situationGood Luck to you!
A simple midweight 1200D will workYou can try a cheaper brand and see if it holds up to her wear and tear (some horses are easy on their clothes, some are not) 600D blankets are cheaper, but do not hold up as wellD denier (mass of the fibers) You'll have to measure her from the middle of her chest to the middle of her tail (so you'll need an assistant)Some brands, like Weatherbeeta, run large, so you'll get a size smaller than you think you'll needThey go in two inch incriments, in most cases (so, 74, 76, 78then some go straight to 81, 84, 86)
