The Kray twins made a good living threatening and extorting money around the East End during the 50’s & 60’s. Both got life; not unreasonable for the murders and destruction.
Rackman made a good living in the 50’s & 60’s terrorising people in their homes and using intimidating behaviour to make profits on slums and squalor. He was primarily responsible for the wealth of landlord and tenant legislation that binds the residential property industry.
If laws worked there would be no one in prison and the World would be a happy cosy place. Unfortunately some still operate on a basis of using the law as a shield for their underhand tactics and overcharging. We are currently protecting a group of people who have flats in an over 55 development from intimidation and excessive charges.
Our adversaries are claiming they are only doing what is prescribed in the lease although the tone and language used in letters is very threatening and leaving the vulnerable terrified.
So what are the issues? Well we organised right to manage for the block in Windsor and when the current agents found out started to make threats of prosecution for non payment of service charge even though for the 2 months before they had taken no action. They have funds to meet bills but have managed to double pay for things in the meantime.
We will be left to unravel and resolve and we are shielding the vulnerable from the persecution.
Nothing much has changed in 50 years – property still a nice business to do people with!
