I've had several repair issues with my rented property and its escalated to the point I've involved the council. The estate agents are shocking.
3 weeks ago we were isolating when the roofer randomly turned up without any warning. I apologised and explained we were isolating, I took his number, text him so he knew it was me and said I'd be in touch when were no longer isolating
I text him on the 19th and said we were finished isolating now and could we arrange an appointment for the repairs. I said if you could just let me know in advance what day you are coming please
I havnt had a reply from him and assumed he would get in touch when he was free. I've gone to my sisters who lives near a beach as it's the 6 weeks holidays so I'm not at home.
He rang me today saying he was at my house. I said I wasnt at home, I was at my sisters and he exploded. Said I'd messed him around hed drove 40 miles to come here. For what he got paid it wasnt worth the job anyway
So I said hold on, i messaged you last week asking you to let me know in advance you were coming. I'm a single mum it's the 6 weeks holidays I'm not going to be sat in my house all day, if youd of let me know you were coming I'd of made sure I was in
He said hed spoke to the landlord ( not sure this is true my landlord lives in Spain, I've never spoke to my landlord it's all been arranged via the council and the estate agents ) and I said but I text you myself to arrange it and asked you to let me know when you were coming
He said again about messing him around and I said again that I hadnt but okay. Then he said so u dont want the job doing, I said I do but you've just said your not doing it!
I said if he can let me know when hes free I can make sure I'm available he said he cant do that hes busy for the next few weeks he just did today because he had a slot free and for me to let him know when I'm available
How does this even make sense? He csnt make me an appointment, wants me to let him know when I'm free but hes busy for the next few weeks?
I've messaged the council about it just waiting for a phonecall back but I cant see how I'm in the wrong here?
I dont even want him coming tonmy house now
I'm here fleeing domestic violence I dont want a man in my home whose been shouting at me and is clearly really rude
I understand his frustration at driving that way but why on earth didnt he let me know he was coming today?
