Heard a first hand story about my close friend’s Nigerian colleague who slumped and died at a care home she works in over the weekend. This lady has 2 little kids and a husband. She’s the main applicant and hasn’t been in the UK for long, barely a few months here. Funny thing is, she fainted at her job 2 weeks prior and was advised to take 2 days off by her senior colleague yet her manager insisted she return to work after just one day off work, claiming that they are short staffed. Abeg as una dey try find una bread and butter to pay bills etc, make una dey try take care of una self. If your body needs rest, please rest, even if they insist. Money is important but rest is importanter. 17 Likes |

eniola1010:I think Yorkshire is like a region comprising of 4 sub regions, so knowing exactly where you are going will make it easy. Your best bet is Trainline(app) download and check your destination from heathrow. You're going to have the train and coach options, you get to choose the best option from the app. 1 Like |

Hello guys, Anyone who have used Gatwick airport before? What's the experience like at POE? I mistakenly Pick Gatwick airport instead of Heathrow when I was booking on wakanow, And now they are asking me to pay 750k to change it to Heathrow after I already paid 680k for Gatwick. |

Amarathripple0: She should have deposited herself straight to A&É and get all test done, get results within a few hours and possibly get admitted, till declared MFFD.......... At certain times, best to skip GP practice and head to the hospital.......... 9 Likes 1 Share |

Madam Ticha, I greet o. Pls. I'm in a somewhat similar situation. Since we rented our 2br apartment in May 2022, my landlord is yet to lodge the deposit we paid. Also, immediately we paid deposit and 1 month rent, he sent us a draft 6-month tenancy agreement for our review and concurrence before both parties sign off. We got back to him that we are cool with the terms hence we should proceed to sign off. Up till now he hasn't said anything about it. In fact, that was his last communication to us. I've sent SMS, WhatsApp messages, emails, called but he would neither pick nor respond. The guy is alive o, hale and hearty. We needed him to fix something in the flat too, we reached out but he ignored as usual. What can we do please? Cos we intend to leave the flat after our 6 month tenancy and we want our deposit back. Thank you. Ticha: |

DadR: Nothing to panic about. You've paid rent and a deposit, so you are a lawful tenant and you will get the deposit back if you are entitled to it (not having caused any damage) when you leave. 1 Like |

Dammyzeal007: Employability and the rest of your question are in the eye of the beerholder, but if you can help it do not waste your money on either options 1, 3 or 4. Especially 3 and 4. |

Dammyzeal007:What’s your previous experience? People here do not hire based on what you studied at Master’s level, they hire based on experience and need I say, packaging. So what’s your background and your desired career path? |

DadR: You have a tenancy under law so fear not. As long as you're paying rent as agreed, you have an active tenancy. Lexus is right. In this case, you won't even lose your deposit regardless of damage because he has broken the law by not lodging it and therefore can't claim anything off it. Even if he lodges it later, he has still failed to abide by the tenancy act. The good thing about not having a signed agreement is that there are no detrimental clauses he can enforce - at all. Write him formally - by email and text (preferred for evidence) or by post - registered delivery so you have evidence - detailing what needs to be fixed, ask to have the tenancy agreement signed by both of you and your deposit protection letter for your own records. For example, you will need the tenancy agreement for certain things - prove your address, visa stuff as and when the time comes... Is the issue to be fixed quite bad? i.e. does it impact on you living there? If it is very bad and he's not responsive, contact environmental health. The council will force him to take action but of course your relationship with him may become fraught. But if you're leaving after 6 months, just relax and take him to the dispute resolution once the tenancy ends and claim back your deposit plus the extra. And if he has not provided any right to rent documents, claim the whole of your 6 months rent back too. First and foremost - check that he definitely hasn't protected it. You can easily check any of the 3 services - https://www.gov.uk/tenancy-deposit-protection/if-your-landlord-doesnt-protect-your-deposit Make sure you give the right notice. Which is one month.
