You can't admit you're wrong can you? You're a very stubborn being. Either way I couldn't care less, I know the landlord is in the wrong regardless of your ignorant responses. I could pull up more, but it's pointless. You swear black is blue, and nobody is going to change your mind. It's best you leave this thread.

They are all correct.....Nobody is being ignorant they are answering your questions, you just don't like the answers.
People are trying to explain if your LL had failed to act after receiving an Enforcement notice, you MAY have a case but as they didn't then there is no case to answer to.

Nope. It's not OK. But that doesn't mean you have a case....

Another. I respect the LL ignored the council's orders, but it's o.k to ignore tenants requests for over 3 months?

And the biggest ha ha! I didn't know until now that a boiler has to have a gas certificate. Her Dad replaced the boiler, and he's not corgi registered! Wait till she gets this lovely email.

Thanks for that. Having read articles online, as a result of your comments, you've no actually found a defacto case

I'm going to ask her to see the gas certificate.

So back in July an S21 was served. It was not have been valid because the deposit was not protected. The deposit has been returned and currently there is no valid S21 if I've understood it correctly so isn't the situation that notice is required by either side to end the tenancy irrespective of the landlord's failings before this point?

Thats a good point.

Gas safe, not corgi.


Feel free to report to the HSE (as advised to do so for the electrics) again you have no case on this.


And it's LEGALLY ok (ish) to ignore, maybe not morally, a tenants request. Certainly for what you're seeking to do.

Yes I did kind of notice this about you OP.

Why is everyone even bothering from this point on?

Leave the OP to it, they have clearly made their minds up on the matter, dont actually need any advice from the point they go into denial regarding their own faults in this matter. That they have reduced themselves to throwing abuse to those who even dare to say they are in the wrong on this matter. There really is no point in assisting them any further.

Best to wait for them to come back in a few Months asking yet more irrelevant questions to the predicament they then find themselves in when (not if) it goes to court.

I've already said this. The OP should just get on with what he needs to do.

It might work in his favour, it might not.

I doubt he'll get the same help when he comes back in a flap because the LL is suing him. His trump card is the fact he can counter sue... but can't afford court costs :rotfl:

I'd be surprised if anyone installing a boiler in 2011 was CORGI registered.

What are you actually trying to achieve here OP? As far as I can tell you want to leave the property without serving any notice but at the same time wish to poke an angry bear with a big stick. The goals aren't very compatible so choose one and stick with it.

Am reporting both now to them. Her Dad is a mechanic, but he does minor repairs on the house for his daughter. She cut a corner to save a buck here.

Am kinda worried now incase there's a potential risk of carbon monoxide poising given that the boiler has failed again, and her Dad isn't qualified to do those repairs.

Get a CO1 detector (£5 and sold in most utility stores: B&Q, Wilkos etc)

As you seem to know for a fact her father wasn't qualified to fit the boiler why didn't you act on it then? It also beggers belief that you continued to live in a property with a LL you obviously hate, why didn't you move sooner?
