[@solasunny8965]

I've been in several situations landlords abused my trust in them. Even i was very dissapointed and angry at them i always kept my decency and paid every penny i owned them while they didn't deserve it and left the property extreemly clean behind me. No way a landlord ever can say i was a bad tenant. It learned me to be more careful renting a place and trust verbal agreements. Every promise written down and signed. When they are serious they don't have a problem with that do they?

Never be a guarantor ever. I am reasonably well off but would never do it ever for any of my children - it can sour relationships. If they cannot afford a place then they should be letting it.

If you couldn't afford the rent then they wouldn't agree to rent the property to you as they have to do financial checks. The purpose of a guarantor is to cover the landlord in the event then tenant can't pay, as circumstances can change.

Mostly, I can't wrap my head around how anyone could treat their parents with such abuse and disrespect. And just dump their child. So I get it when Alan said he doesn't want to see his son.
