Mini Rant ... Grrr!!!!


My house is doing my flipping nut in!

Firstly, we privately rent...we got a lovely big house (big for us) and it was a good price.

1stly, i pay 575 a month for it, its ment to be a 3 double bed house semi. 1 bedroom is no way a double room...and the second smallest ..if u put a double bed in there u wudnt be able to move or have anything else in there.
So thats a fib!

I have a down stairs loo that we cant use coz it blocks...tonight my OH has been out with a pole in the shit drains outside...its been blocked for what looks like years!! But that drain isnt to the downstairs loo, its to the kitchen sinks and upstairs bathroom...
We found the drain to the downstairs loo and washing machine, but its been tarred over!! IDIOTS!!!
So its not got two toilets, it has 1.

The window in the downstairs loo is still broken and blocked up with wood, we have been here nearly 2 months ffs....HELLLO? This was meant to be done within 2 weeks of us being here.

I have gone to the estate agents yesterday...did i hear today?? NO...

Im reaching my limit..this is a fucking joke!

Someone is gunna get it in the ear tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OHHHHHHHHH and we had to decorate My daughters room coz it had damp in it, we had to sand it down, and cover it in special paint that blocks it from coming thru, then paint to colour it...Bye bye £40!!

Id ring them and tell them your are considering ringing the enviromental health due to the toilet and drains.
They dont like these sort of threats so hopefully it should kick them into touch.

Tell them you won't pay next months rent as compensation for the repairs not being done and that a judge will back you if they take you to court and I bet they get their asses in gear to do the repairs then!!! Are your rent agency part of ARCA can't remember what that stands for now but they are like a rent agency regulation company - if so report your agency to them

There's a website somewhere that helps tenants in situations such as this. I'll hunt around for you, see if I can find it.

£575 for a 3 bed! We private rent a pokey 1 bed flat for £500 pcm (I hate it). We currently have no proper flooring in the bathroom and no panel etc on the bath due to them not sealing the shower screen when the bathroom suite was fitted (with prev tenants) and the bathroom flooded, they stripped it all and left, that was months ago. It smells damp and it still isn't dry so methinks they gots big problems. We have complained but fortunately our notice to quit came and we aren't gonna re-new.
