Landlords chase dead girl’s family for rent

[fedsron2us]

HE family of a Liverpool student who died in January have been threatened with legal action over rent on her digs.

The parents of Shauna McCann said the letting agents, Wavertree-based Bpm Services Ltd, had caused them “undue stress and worry”.

Shauna was in her final year of a special needs teaching degree at Hope University when she died aged 19 of natural causes on January 29.

The teenager, from Bessbrook, in Newry, Northern Ireland, had rented a house with three girls in Carsdale Road, Mossley Hill.

Despite the tragedy, Bpm is demanding her father Kevin pay monthly amounts of £216.67 until June as he “agreed to guarantee his daughter’s rent payments in full for the whole of the period of the tenancy.”

Apparently the landlord is pursuing the deceased girl's parents for a pitiful £866.

Makes you proud to be British.

Still I do not fancy the Landlord or Letting Agents chances of collecting that cash in Armagh

1. The comment "Bastard" seems to be appropriate at this point.

Seconded. If you want your grubby cash despite the tragedy then you go and collect it.

(OT: What sort of thing causes a 19-year old to die of "natural causes"? Shit. That's depressing.)
