same here! I live on Dunstans and happy to help any way I can as I'm currently between jobs with no partner/kids/pets... (so plenty of time!). anyone who needs assistance, feel free to PM me as well :)

thanks everyone for the incredibly helpful advice! I will get in touch with the council to explain the situation and see what I/they can do.

officially she lives there, like her mail is delivered there, but she's not actually there at the moment, she lives with her mother as far as I know, and has been for months according to my flatmate. I have a feeling she knows exactly what she's doing and is finding loopholes left and right. Thank you! I will get in touch with the council to ask what I can do. is there any certain way to go about this?

hey everyone I need help / advice. when I moved to London 2 months ago I was desperate to have a UK address so I could apply for the NIN. I ended up lodging a place, quite literally a dump that cost me ?650 a month. the landlady was weird and shady from the beginning and I kept looking for another place after I moved in. I have recently found a new flat I've just moved into, and now my landlady is trying to keep my deposit because her old tv, that was in my room, broke a few days ago. I had notified her that the screen was flickering almost 2 months ago but she didn't care. now the screen gave up and she's accusing me of breaking it and threatening to keep my deposit. I have a temp job and will be unemployed come January so ?650 is a LOT of money to me and I am so upset she's trying to keep it on no grounds at all. I did nothing to that TV other than use it for what it was for. it's mounted to the wall so she can't even say I dropped it or anything. I honestly don't know what to do. I am desperate and don't know the procedures here. like where I could get assistance in this matter. she needs proof when she accuses me, right? she can't just keep my money without proving beyond a doubt that I had anything to do with it? can anyone help me out? I'm quite desperate to get my money back as I have done nothing wrong and feel screwed over. thanks in advance for any advice/help! Tanja x

Hi everyone, I just moved from Switzerland to East Dulwich a little less than 2 months ago and so far have struggled getting to know anyone (mostly because I?m shy in social situations) so I figured I?d try the forum. :) (I hope this is the right section for this.) I?m pretty chill and would love to connect with people of all ages, backgrounds and interests, male or female, singles, couples, families, ? (I myself am 28, female, single, no kids but love children, currently no pets but absolutely a dog person). are there any local ?meetups? where my awkward self could try and get to know people? or would anyone be interested in meeting for coffee or a walk in one of the lovely parks? I?ve already checked meetup.com, but would prefer getting to know people who specifically live in ED since I?m a bit of a homebody and prefer to stay in or around this wonderful area as much as I can (other than work). related to this, is anyone else likely going to be alone for Christmas and would like to maybe do something one or both days? Cheers, Tanja
