Hey all.
I’ve been privately renting for 10 years with the same letting agent.
i currently have a ongoing court case with them regarding my previous property due to negligence from them and the landlord they was complicit in all of it.
we had to live house due to the state of previous property and we moved to another property not far away since we have been here we have been nothing but harassed. Emails all the time. Inspections and the most important thing is they have not dealt with this ongoing leaks I’ve had for 6 months I’ve got black mould growing everywhere and now even rising damp the house is bitterly cold and I can’t get it warm.
I can’t afford to hear the house like that I have a fire but it does not do anything. I have 2 young children and a disabled partner and I feel awful I can’t get them warm.
I’ve companies many times but nothing gets done I’ve even asked for a rent adjustment but landlord said no. Apparently leaks will be sorted in January but they said this in October.
just before Christmas they emailed me saying they want another inspection but it’s not due till April. They are making my life hell.
it’s definitely retaliation due to this court case.
what can I do I don’t want to be evicted for making a fuss but at the same time I have a young family to look after.
thankyou!!
