Thanks for the advice I will do the above.

Landlord does not live in the property, is in London, will certainly look the acts mentioned

With cupboards I'll probably empty them out first and check for any holes and put any open food in containers, would tinned food be ok?

Tinned should be ok. It's all packets and bagged food- cereals,rice, pet food, sweets etc

Also try to only consume food in one room , don't have snacks in bedrooms and make sure you clean and sweep up after all food prep

The council should be able to help in forcing the landlord/owner of the building to act
