I always see stuff implying that people who have a council or housing association house are in the lowest form of housing.
I think it is bollocks. Having rented privately for about 4 years I think that assumption is bollocks. I have seen it all with private lets in that short time.
From my first flat when weeks after the checkout inspection, the (unregistered!) landlady text saying her plumber had found a hole in the bath and wanted us to pay for it, to a flat with cracks in the walls from subsidence that caused the windows not to shut properly, to a flat where I got a notice to quit while pregnant because I said I wasn't paying rent until they fixed the stuff they had been promising to fix since before I moved in over a year ago.
That plus extortionate rent , deposits, agent fees, late rent fees, having to hassle and hassle to get anything fixed, inspections, and getting billed when you moved out for stuff that was broken when you moved in.
Since renting from a housing association, none of the stuff in the flat has broken yet, I have been consulted on changes they want to make to communal areas, and if I haven't been able to pay rent on time it's been totally fine, no late fees.
Why the fuck is being treated like an actual human being supposedly worse that basically being shat on and not being able to do anything about it? although I did consider hiding fish under the floorboards of my last flat they treated me that badly.
