You raised the issue of those who could not afford to do that. If you cannot afford essential repairs, you can apply for finanial assistance or wait "a whole week till they get back from their Jollies". It is good to have a sense of humour:rotfl:

Please tell us more about the financial assistance which you think a private housing T may apply for in these circumstances

That is way off the topic for this thread. It may amuse you to go look on google. :rotfl:

Where did I say it was down to the tenant to pay?

In an emergency when tenant cannot contact LL, he is entitled to have essential repairs carried out and bill the LL.

Even if a tenant could claim for an essential repair, how long do you think that would take? I'm guessing it would take longer than waiting a week for the LL/agent to get back from their jollies so what's the point?!

The LL/agent should be doing their jobs properly anyway, so there wouldn't be any need for the tenants to be put in that situation.

And like tbs has asked, how exactly do private tenants apply for assistance for essential repairs? That link is no good as it doesn't apply to the UK.

You really haven't a clue have you?

You're being asked normal practical questions, which you can't answer, and instead making a joke out of them which is just childish.

It is you and he who started with the childish jokes but I have no intention of feeding a troll or responding with insults.

I did not say it would be quick or easy to qualify. However it is very easy to find several sources for financial help. Are you stating that you do not believe there is financial help available to those who cannot afford essential repairs?

You have suggested it as a possible source of help for the OP's circumstances. Please explain how it now becomes "way off topic"when you are asked to give further information to back up your assertion.

You have already provided a link to financial assistance for Ts which is only available to those residing in the USA so it would be interesting to know what else you can trawl up via a brief Google.

I started the childish jokes and I'm a troll? Oh grow up Missile!

I don't know if there is financial help or not, that's why I asked you.

I'm not making that statement, you are.

You have provided a link for assistance in the USA and you've been asked twice about information on help in the UK, but instead you're just making a joke out of it all.


It's quite simple, if you know of assistance in the UK for a private tenant to get essential repairs done, could you please share it, as it may be useful for the OP, or another tenant who needs help and might stumble on this thread.

You seem to be admitting that there are very few essential repairs which cannot wait until normal office hours?
The LL/agent should be doing their jobs properly anyway, so there wouldn't be any need for the tenants to be put in that situation. I did say that earlier
And like tbs has asked, how exactly do private tenants apply for assistance for essential repairs? That link is no good as it doesn't apply to the UK. tbs can speak for himself

Glad to see you are getting back to the point of this thread.

For genuine emergencies with gas / water / electricity, the utility companies all provide an emergency service for which there is normally no charge. What other emergencies have you had which would justify your assertion that an agent / LL should provide an emergency number?

Broken toilet, (and yes, I do consider it an emergency as there are 4 people living here including 2 kids) like I've specified about 3 times now! Are you actually reading the thread? Your surname isn't Rachman is it?

I refuse to respond to your insults.

It's quite simple, 2 minutes on google will provide you with information regarding financial assistance available in the UK for essential repairs to those in need.
