Oh, and my old landlord refused to accept that I was moving out, and wouldn't take my name off the contract, despite countless emails asking for us to renew it with the names of people living there when it expired. He left mine on, still thinks I live there, and calls me every month asking for rent. I've not answered in nearly two years.
On the flip side, he changed the postcode of the building by moving the front door to another road, so the leccy company said we didn't exist and we never paid for electricity. Next door hadn't had a water bill in over 7 years for similar reasons. Probably different in other properties like this, but I felt like I was constantly on the run from utilities bills, which was a shit way to live my life.

I do miss having loads of space though...
