Men urinating in the kitchen sink.( this house is higher than ours, so we can see ) I rang the landlord on many an occasion , never did he answer the phone,never. Eventually I contacted the council and a very nice man came to visit us, when he saw the rubbish I mention he was disgusted., said no-one should have to live with that mess around. I am sandwiched between private landlords property, they put anyone in them, as long as they get the rent,thats all that matters to them.
I am more fortunate than you,
The house I was living in was compulsory purchased and due to this I was put on a priority list.
I was lucky enough to be offered a completley renovated terraced house by Harvest.
If ever I get in touch about a minor problem or fault, it does not take them long to get someone out to do a repair.
All the legal yearly safety checks are carried out.

I wish all tenants could have landlords similar to mine, I'm sure that by keeping on top of repairs and so on, this prevents my landlord having major problems with their properties.

Oh, and the other thing they did in the initial tenancy agreement was every couple of months during the first year of my tenancy, to send a representative around to check that I was looking after their property and causing no inconvenience to my neighbours and making sure my neighbours weren't causing a problem for me.

If Heineken ever rented property they would be called 'Harvest'.




Well, that's enough creeping, I'll look forward to at least a years rent rebate for that!
