To be pissed of with my Landlord

[pumpkinsweetie]

I had someone out to put in a new gas meter on friday, the man said my boiler was unsafe and is blowing out an yellow flame (dangerous). He has turned my boiler off and it has to be serviced before it can be turned back on due to it being dangerous!
My landlord is also my father, he has not once had out boiler serviced and if it wasn't for the bloke putting meter in we could be dead-carbon monoxide was emmitting from it and due to it being inside a cupboard and it being contained we are lucky.

Phoned him straight away fri-no sorry from him at all, all he did was told me to ring him saturday to get a number of a company he uses for his other property. He said he was going away soon so i would have to deal with it!
Anyway got in touch with company sat, they were supposed to come out today for service but haven't been able to do it as they need the landlords permission-guess what he has already gone away and isnt answering his phone grrr. So his sil has had to authorise it, but i have waited in all day, i have had no hot water since fri morn and im so angry.
They may not have anyone out today now, it will probably be tomorrow.
Aibu to be pissed of my own father/my landord could do this to me? He knows i have no hot water but he chooses to go away without asking whats going on and he seems to have no care in the world about our saftey

You have to think now.Whos more important dad or your children.You have to report for your children.If that upsets Him well tough shit loosing your kids would be more important.

See this why i cannot ever forgive him.Because he has always been the same.Selfish put everyone else before his kids idiot.Even doing to his grandkids now

And you know aswell as i do if this was anyone else he would be here sorting it out

Ive phoned him & told him to get in touch with engineers.
Im going to see where it goes from there, if he fails to sort anything out i will have to report

Imagine If you were renting from someone you didn't know, and through landlord negligence your family became Ill or even died.

At the inquest you discover that his care towards tenant safety was non existent, and his family didn't want to raise the issue with the authorities.

How would that make YOU feel?

Hi Olimpricks our dad wouldn't do this with anyone else he honestly wouldn't.It's a case of he thinks he can get away with it because my sister is his family.His always been like this.Helps everybody else instead of his own kids.His a vile man

I'm just a little surprised at the lack of control you have over your own life. Move out, rent independently, choose your next property more wisely, ask to see annual gas safety certificates - you sound like you hate the man and his being your landlord and father at the same time are confusing the issue.

And if the issue with the boiler and water is so serious, authorise the repairs yourself and claim them back from him.

Disclaimer - I used to live and rent in a couple of other Northern European countries and you had to be a lot more responsible for your own life rather than abdicate control over it to your landlord.

geegee-It isn't quite as simple as that, the plumbing company are arsing about as they need permission for all the quotes and work done as it is not my property.
I do not hate my father at all, i love him very much i just wish he treated me better and had more consideration for his family.
The reason why the boiler being fixed is ergent is because we have had no hot water for nearly a week ! We have no emersion

I cannot just rent somewhere else right now as i do not have the savings for a deposit & month rent in hand nor do i have a garantour-things needed for all properties up for rent in my area.
Not only that my dh may be being made redundant so definetly not the time to move as it is easier to apply for full hb if we stay put.

The quote is being done today, if my father is contactable and agrees they are going to start work as soon as they can.

I wish life was so simple, just to have control over everything would be lovely but with debts, a strong possibility of my dh being made redundant and no savings there isn't much i can do in the way of control.

Hi Geegee.Thats me thats hates him not Pumkinsweetie.Just thought i'd clear that up.

Do you have a proper rental contract?

I didn't think you could claim housing benefit if you are renting a house from a relative?

Fair enough. Good luck in getting it sorted asap.

Yes we have a proper rental contract that has been looked at by the council and we already recieve a small amount of hb towards the rent.

Im hoping when the quotes are done he agrees, because im starting to resent having no hot water tbh.
Cold showers are not the best especially when they are stone cold & strip washing and sending dcs to mums just for baths is not ideal especially in this heat
