No, no laws I agree entirely
Of course you have to. How can you possibly disagree with one what is always right?
(Elfin - I wasn't argueing about that so you can't now tell me you were right)
But pity, sympathy and understanding on behalf of someone thrust into a situation they didn't instigate is something we shouldn't be afraid of giving.
I've said, I hope the OP gets it sorted out asap.
Except you ALSO say...
Business is business is business. Pure and simple. No use expecting sympathy just cos you're a 'nice guy just trying to get along'- Capitalism takes no prisoners. Dog eat dog. Might sound harsh, but that's the way it is.
and
I think too many people go into something like this think it will simply be easy money coming in on a regular basis, with minimal effort. Certainly most of the LLs I've had seem to think this. It's a lot more difficult than it looks, and the learning curve is very steep, with little room for error.Like any business venture, it requires a lot of thought and planning. And if you don't consider the worst case scenario, and make contingency plans, well, that's your lookout really. If any other type of business failed cos the person din't things through enough, there woon't be a lot of sympathy. Why? It's business, not some idealistic lovely utopian dream.
Which both show you don't have any real sympathy (possibly because of your own experiences?) and assume he did it simply to make money whereas the OP has stated already that he rented out of necessity due to his employment in the Armed Forces.
Having said that, a career where you have to move around a lot would seem to make home ownership slightly counterintuitive.
on Xmas as well.
