My landlord told me to wash my mouth out with bleach after rowing about rent in front of my daughter – I’m furious

A MUM was horrified after a potential landlord told her to wash her mouth out with bleach.

She and her daughter Ruby, seven, are moving because her current landlord is upping their rent from £450 to £700 - so the mum phoned a landlord of another house up as she was looking for a new home.

She told : "As soon as he answered he seemed like he was having a bad day.

"When I asked about the property he said that one has gone but there is another one coming up in two weeks."

She said he did not believe her landlord was upping the rent or that that was the reason she was leaving her current home.

And Vicky claims they then rowed over how much the council paid her, claiming he didn't believe her again.

She added: “I then asked him how come you have such an attitude against me?

“His words were if I can’t ‘be arsed’ to tell him what the council pays me then he is not going to rent me a house."

She said his tone was really nasty and she got so angry she said "who the f*** are you talking to" and hung up.

The landlord then texted her: “Ok - have a nice day and do wash your mouth out with bleach”.

Vicky said her daughter read it because she was sat next to her, adding: "She knows we have got to move again and is stressed."

"I don't want to keep on moving Ruby and needed somewhere to settle quickly. I feel depressed.

"I don't understand how you could speak to another person like that, especially if you are renting your house out."
