Or maybe they're getting a bursary and not declaring the rental income.
I've just found out that LL's child is being sent to £10k private school next term.
I had previously had a bit of sympathy for her as she bought this flat at top of the market and is most def in negative equity now. Depending on deposit the rent we pay probably isn't much more than her repayment mortgage and la fees.
Structural work needs done eg damp proofing. We have been waiting months and have resigned ourselves to moving as it isn't going to happen. DP has asthma so we can't risk his health from another winter in this damp hole.
But now that her DC is going private I think, well she can afford to get the work done and is just being a s*** landlord.
The other possibility is that she is getting a bursary and possibly not declaring this income.
I assume ainbu to be p ed off.
Wwyd?
Kick up a stink with the la?
Stop paying rent? I'm not going to do this, I think it would be unreasonable.
Report her to the school?

To think if the landlord can afford private school they can afford to fix the damp in this flat?
