Post subject: Useless Landlords!
|
 |
|
Where do I start? Basically our landlady is useless (hence the title LOL) She's left us without a gas safety certificate for over 6 months, Health and Safety are involved now - it's a prisonable offence fgs we still haven't got it. Our boiler packed up last autumn, it took her 6 weeks (!!) to fix it, and now the gas fire ignition is broken - we have to leave it on pilot light; as it's our only form of heating in the living room we daren't turn it off completely. We've been trying to contact her without success for the past month or so, as she's given us eviction notice (she wants to sell the house without tenants) and yesterday the main drain started overflowing and leaking sewage down our driveway, the kids over the road were playing in it!!! I called her immediately explaining the situation and telling her I wanted her to call back as soon as possible. That was yesterday morning. Since then I've called about 4 people in Environmental Health and finally got put onto Yorkshire Water who said they'll be out some time today to unblock it. We find this unnaceptable; the landlady should have got a plumber out asap according to the council, and not left this to us. We've also since found out that when she bought the house from our previous landlord (a nice chap who still visits from time to time) she actually still owes him £4,000. We're wondering if she's legged it back to Pakistan to get away from all this, not even Health and Safety have been able to get hold of her!
Anyone else had any problems with landlords?

I called the Private Sector Tenancy Relations Officer today regarding the landlady. She owes our last landlord money still from the sale of this house last summer and he came round to get her new address. He's found out she [b]is[/i] in Pakistan. This is how my telephone call went...
Me: I'd like to make a complaint about our landlady
Them: Certainly what's the problem
Me: She's disappeared
Them: *loud laughter* Pardon?
Me: She's disappeared
Them: I thought that's what you'd said...
The upshot is... She's in deep doodoo hehehe
