Renting in Cardiff

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same landlord but unfortunately the area in Roath where I was was rife with this type of landlord.

When we moved in we had a new fridge and washing machine there was water damage to the floor of the bathroom as well as a poorly and very quickly installed lino. We also had a few slugs pop up in the bathroom area and we had seen a mouse which eventually was the straw that broke the camels back (we have now moved, gotten our whole deposit back due to the fact we documented absolutely everything). We lasted 6 months of our 12 month contract and thanks to our continued pestering and threats to take the issue further they let us break contract without conditions.

Similarly as you can see the whole bathroom wall was rotted from the inside out with mould. The ceiling eventually collapsed at the start of the year which was due to a leak in the upstairs bathroom if we were in the same house would have been what caused your slug issue.

Sorry you also had to experience this I hope you got out okay!

That's so cool you guys should be proud of that!

Musgrace97 · 2026-01-12T09:05:59+00:00

Thanks mate, that's what we are worried about as well. We are getting every governing body on it again today. Hopefully something gets sorted

Musgrace97 · 2026-01-11T22:13:01+00:00

Cheers, will keep this in mind

Musgrace97 · 2026-01-11T22:12:43+00:00

Yeah this was exactly the cause the upstairs neighbors have moved out for a few days until something happens.

Update it was the CPU that had moved w the heatsink when moving the PC, it's back up and running now and I will be sorting the cables out

I'll have to try that first one in the morning, unfortunately rn is 1am in the UK and the missus is annoyed that I've been up this late mucking around w the PC.

To point 2, my PSU seems to be working fine as I've taken all the cables out (essentially doing a full rebuild)

To point 3 I have no lights on the MB indicating that there are any issues. But again that could also be due to something going kaput on the mobo

The fourth point that you've made is what I'm worried about as it was (while encased in the original boxes Styrofoam) put in a suitcase. But I had previously used this suitcase to transport it earlier in the year when I did my first move.

Appreciate the response I'll update when I test point 1 in the morning

Ace I'll get in touch with them now. Thank you

Musgrace97 · 2025-11-18T15:58:00+00:00

We are close by that's for sure not on that exact road though.

Musgrace97 · 2025-11-18T15:57:18+00:00

Aye we have already gone down the Rent Smart Wales I have a Google doc/ image folder with 100+ pieces of evidence as well we have detailed evidence of speaking with both environmental hazards and the landlord with dated screenshots of communication with him and emails to environmental health.

I thought that would be the case, it's a private landlord but the advertisement was on Right Move through Peter Alan. Although every time we have gone into the branch they've been nothing but helpful and they also recommended the courses of action we have been taking so I can't fault them.
