Zoopla, Rightmove, Onthemarket...is there any other website for house hunting please?

Does not mater what the old landlord allowed. The new one has no obligation what so ever to also allow it. It is illegal to alter a rental without landlord approval.

No landlord ever has to give any such approval and most do not. Does not mater what you think of upgrades. News flash- it IS NOT your property!

You making deal with a contractor without the proper approvals is on you. The landlord has done nothing wrong here. You did.

Any $ lost is between you & the contractor. By your other post you are not even a legal resident of the unit. You are breaking multiple laws here.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
