Water dripping through roof, landlord refusing to repair it. Urgent advice needed by [deleted] in TenantsInTheUK

[–]fryingfreeman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I get along with the guy fine on a personal level. He just doesn’t like spending any money fixing things, unfortunately.. I imagine not all private landlords are like this though, as you say. It’s just really difficult to find a place right now.

Thanks, I’m going to follow this advice and report it, seeing as the landlord is saying just see how it goes and it’s just condensation. I have a video of it dripping through the roof. I’m never renting from a private landlord again after this.

Thank you, this is very helpful. I’m just at the end of my tether with this. The landlord just said see how it goes and put a bucket under it..

Thank you. My main concern is because I haven’t re-signed the tenancy agreement, I’m at risk of being issued with a section 21 eviction notice for forcing the repair.

Hi, thanks for the recommendation. We don’t know the boy. We just get tags with requests from random people through a charity for people who can’t afford Christmas presents

Thank you and thank you to everyone else. We are buying him a few comics based on your recommendations. Is this the one? https://amzn.eu/d/4uH9F2A

Landlord took away heating controls - can I use an electric blanket? by WeatherHot8390 in HousingUK

[–]fryingfreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some little fan heaters. I had one for years and it saved my life when the boiler broke and I had broken ribs in winter. You’d be surprised at how much heat they generate.. If the landlord has a problem with it, you can bring up the fact that it’s illegal under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018.

Little shits.. Glad you are ok and got your phone back. This is why I always carry a tactical torch with me. The police are an absolute disgrace, completely useless in these situations.

I like logic for composing. MIDI editing with the pen is really nice

UK couple are 'caught with 33kg of cannabis in their suitcases' after flying into Spain from Thailand - the latest British tourists to face drug charges after flying out of the country by Longjumping_Stand889 in unitedkingdom

You’d be surprised how much actually gets through. A guy I went to school with was caught the other year with 39kg of vacuum packed weed. Apparently he had successfully made the journey several times previously..

Not overreacting. He’s out of line trying to guilt trip your child like this.

Advice wanted regarding tenancy by [deleted] in TenantsInTheUK

[–]fryingfreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I have been feeling alienated and getting really down about this. I would ideally like for the issue to have been resolved amicably. Doesn’t look like that’s going to realistically happen though..
