    I'd just ignore looking for the landlord to rectify as they don't have powers of entry - certainly not up here in Scotland.

    Call Environmental Health at the Council - what you are being subjected to is a Statutory Nuisance - they will obtain a warrant and repair.

    This question needs answering.
    It's someone else's fault.

    If he is on a short sentence - Housing is still paid to save the state money on rehousing him when he gets out.
