this is petty in the grand scheme of things, i know it is.
when we moved in here there was already a corner bath unit fitted in the bathroom. the panel was already cracking but not badly so. i was unsure about it, but looked into the tenacy agreement and it states that any applicances and fittings left by previous owners than the council didnt remove, would then become responsiblity of the council to upkeep them.
fast forward to now, the panel is now broken and dangerous, and the seal has gone round the tub. so have had to council in. they are refusing to do the panel as its not 'council issue fittings' they wont replace the tub to council issue normal tub. all they will do is seal it round the edges. So i will still have water leaking over the edge of the tub and running to the back of the floor underneath, which will require mopping daily. and its not easy to mop under a bath each day, i can tell you.
petty i know, but where do i stand? can i insist they sort out the panel or so i admit defeat already.
