    Hey all of you I need some advice.

    I have been to see a friend this avvy and she has been complaining about her flat and LL.

    She has been living there with her DP since 4/12/09 and has a 6 month tenancy. They are living in a flat in a listed building. They have complained to the agency which is acting on behalf of the LL and nothing has been done. The problems are as follows:

    *Damp
    *Mould
    *Condensation
    *Huge drafts through holes in the windows
    *Hot water only works when it feels like it.

    They have had a specialist round who said that because it is a listed building they cannot do anything about the massive gaps in the windows.

    Because of the harsh winter we have had they have literally been living in the bedroom as it is the only room in the flat with no drafts and it is the smaller room so doesnt cost so much to heat.

    They received a letter from the agency stating the following:

    "The property is being inadequately ventilated, this is the reason for the condensation appearing on all the windows i.e the water, either brown or otherwise running down ther inside of the windows.
    You must allow the vents on the velux windows to be open as much as possible. This will then allow ventilation to flow therefore stopping the condensation.
    For times when it is too cold and you wish the vents to be closed for short periods please use the dehumidifier which has been provided by the LL. I do understand that there may be gaps especially in the lounge window but unfortunately they form part of the listed building so therefore cannot be changed.
    All these thigns do however come with living in an older property and when the warmer comes then you will find that gets better.
    If living with these conditions is unsuitable for yourselves then perhaps a newer propertyt will be more beneficial after the teneancy comes to an end.

    Yours sincerely

    Joe Bloggs"

    Typing this letter out I am amazed at the spelling and grammar mistakes they have made!!

    Back to the point. Do they have a leg to stand on. Both suffer with asthma and the damp can only be making them worse.

    Thank you any advice greatly received.
  • Can someone remind me how to get the big scary pics on here? I've finished my first couple of bits of jewellery off and feel the need to share (if my camera works)
