Try speaking to your landlord, and tell them that there appears to be a problem with the ventilation system. It could be just a broken fan.
What I would be more concerned with would be your escape route in case of a fire. Is there an alarm system for the whole block (including detectors in each flat)? Do the corridors have possitive pressure ventilation systems?0 -
Ok, thanks guy, I'll ring the management company (these guys) and see what they have to say and post back to you!
p.s. Yes there is no gas in our flat I think, the cooker is electric, having said that though my bed is right next to a "Gas emergency control box"0 -
hmmm fairly sure a 'bedroom' has to have a window:

required for escape more than airing - think you're living in a dressing/utility area...0
