Moved into this house in the summer. 10 year old huge bungalow - we were attracted by the space, the garden and the fact that there is an office which DH needs as he is self employed.
House looked great on the surface but since we moved in there has been ongoing problems.
There is a leak in one of the bedroom ceilings when it rains heavily. It took weeks for the landlord to get someone to deal with it and as soon as it rained again it was clear the problem is still there. This has been ongoing since before Christmas and the landlord says he is waiting on the roofer. Meanwhile we have had to move out of that bedroom.
When we moved in the fireplace was packed with papers. When we removed it is was full of ash and clearly had not been touched since the last tenants. When we cleaned it out there was a lot of damage visible which the landlord should have been aware of. As it was he left it to us to find someone to do the repair and it took weeks to get it sorted.
Then today dd1 (3) was in the bathroom when I was settling dd2 for a nap. I heard a huge thump and a scream. When I got to the bathroom dd1 was trapped in a hole when the surround of the bath had fallen through.
Underneath it is all damp and rotting. Someone had tiled around the bath on some sort of chipboard or something that had clearly rotted when wet.
I have told dd not to climb up there before but she was trying to reach something.
She is lucky she was not seriously injured, just scrapes and bruises and badly shaken.
I need to talk to the landlord about getting things sorted. I'm not sure what he is responsible for though. We have rented different places for years and never had problems like this.
DH has the contract filed away so I can't find it til he gets home.
I feel like ringing the landlord and giving him an earful.
