PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

1st Day of moving in....landlord nightmare

Even it *was* Uni approved (unlikely from the sound of it) the TRO & EHO should still be contacted as the state of the property sounds grim.Also contact the Environmental health dept at the Council and the tenancy relations Officers if this is not university approved accomodation.
In all probability, the LA doesn't really "give one": unless the LL was using them on a T finder basis only, *they* should have checked the property was ready to let.The estate agency will be pretty miffed and may well help find alternative accomodation.
OP - LAs are unregulated - they don't need to have any training, expertise, qualifications or common sense before setting up in business. They act in the LLs interests. Your son should therefore not be fobbed off or intimidated by them: let them know that the EHO/TRO will be asked to inspect the property.0 -
