To add, Ultimately the problems and remedial action go back to the landlord and the agents (Foxtons in this case) have to refer everything back to the landlord and get the landlord's consent to act, including instructing trades to undertake repairs. The landlord may be the underlying problem. Suggest use the above links and escalate, including sending written notices to both the agents and landlord direct. The landlord details should be stated in the tenancy agreement. For complaints / faults, make sure you have a written record including follow up in writing / email on all calls. -
Absolutely mental what Labour have become/are doing because I’m me - I am going to say, it was the denial of reality that was the 2016 referendum, the genuflection of it ever since and the aggressive behaviour of the right wing press ever since that have cowed weak, spineless politicians Until them at shibboleth is defeated, we can replace governments and leaders as much as we want - won’t make a tack of difference we are in bizarro world since 2016 - only the electorate recognising that vocally will we see improvements without that, every government, party and leader will be in hock to fantasists (there are things govts can do regardless of Brexit. Of course there are. But the root - the root problem - will continue to infect) -
I wrote to Ellie during Labour conference due to their continued focus on the boats telling her that most of my friends and family believe there are more important things to focus on than the small boats. That does not mean it should not be addressed, but sadly this has become a toxic issue stirred up by Reform, the right wing media/rabid social media, to a lesser extent Bedenock and Philp, and sadly Labour itself. Mahmood's statement today that illegal migration is "tearing the country apart" makes me shudder. All credit to Plaid Cymru for their stance in the Caerphilly Welsh Parliament by-election. PM and Home Secretary you are encouraging this. Just repeat after me "as a country we are better than this". Well perhaps some will think that I live in a liberal bubble and I am not in touch with the 'common people". I'd like to think we are all better than this. And that includes the other culture wars that Reform will continue to stoke up including Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and gender politics. -
Local councils in England have significant powers to take action against unfit housing [and my own words rather than AI - have a duty to take action], primarily under the Housing Act 2004 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018. These powers are used by environmental health or private sector housing teams and typically follow an assessment using the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) Here's more details from central government: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/homes-fitness-for-human-habitation-act-2018/guide-for-local-authorities-homes-fitness-for-human-habitation-act-2018 If Southwark are not responding, next port of call is your local councilor - having been at MP's surgeries a few times much of their constituency time will be taken up with issues like yours. The oven thing is just bizarre - reminds me of what landlords would do when I was a student. Shelter also provide guidance. You should serve notice on your landlord, but I'd go to Southwark at the same time https://www.southwark.gov.uk/housing/private-tenants-and-landlords/private-tenants/your-rights-and-responsibilities/unsafe-and Others may be able to advise on whether your house has to be licensed. If you change the title to "advice on unfit rented property" you may get more offering advice. Finally contact the Waterloo legal advice centre for free advice: https://www.lawworks.org.uk/legal-advice/individuals/waterloo-legal-advice-service Lawyers give up their time (pro bono) to help those in particular need. Good luck and keep this thread updated.
