    That's going to be tricky to do since the supply has been disconnected...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • Even if you owe your LL money you can still contact Shelter. It is a dangerous and very unhealthy situation you are in. I understand that it is hard to contemplate moving due to the costs, but you could also with the help of Shelter or CAB ask from help of the local authority. Don't sit around waiting for your LL to sort this out! It is your responsibility to your family to make sure you all are safe. Just have a chat with CAB or Shelter, they will walk through your options step by step and won't do anything you are not comfortable with. Their correspondence could be helpful with renting something else.
    I never realized how much personal info is out there that can be used and abused to suit every purpose.

    "Yes I do have a live gas supply but when the gas board come out they disconnected the pipe from the gas meter then my landlord come out and reconnected it and told me that there isn't a gas leak and nothing to worry about "

    I wonder what else he is doing. Does his mortgage company know he is renting a property out? What about tax office too?

    If he is prepared to blatantly break the law assuming he isnt qualified to reconnect gas that has be turned off due to safety the I cant help but wonder is total disregard for your well being and the law

  • Hi all,

    quick update gas emergency service have come out and explained that i wanted a safety test completed and if found a gas leak then the meter would be recapped and guess what surprise surprise it has been cut off as there is a leak in the internal pipping in the property and he has done a second test with the cap on to ensure there is no leak to the meter and kame back that there is o leak as i expected so it is now in my LL hands so will be giving him untill monday to hear from eaga (warmfront) to see if they have received the permission letter if they havent he will be sent a letter to rectify all defects and if they are not completed then i will be contacting HSE
    Thanks

    Glad to hear that dispite not having your gas supply on that you and your family are now safe again. Just be sure to get your job reports and good luck with the LL .
