Not my situation but a friend that would like some advice.
They live in a terraced property they rent from a private landlord through an estate agent. They have lived there about a year now. No issues apart from the place being a bit filthy when they moved in and bits of mold here and there.
My friend looks after their space and keeps the home really clean.
They ended up having a bad leak in the kitchen ceiling, they notified the landlord who said someone will be around in a few days. No one came and a couple of weeks later a very large chunk ceiling/plasterboard disconnected from the floorboards above and collapsed into the kitchen.
They finally got someone around who has found the cause apparently the gutters are rotten and need replacing and there pointing issues down the supply and fit - my friend (tenant) has been presented with a quote for repairs and asked if they want to go ahead.
AIBU to think this repair is the responsibility of the landlord?
Or is it down to my friend to fix a property they already pay premium rent for and don't own?
YABU - it's your friends responsibility
YANBU - it's the landlords job
