I think the Geneva convention says something about cruel and unusual punishment like that.
Glad to see that Ritfor's confessed to an alcohol-induced trolling.
If the Geneva convention is responsible for making rhubarb exacerbate the symptoms of gout, you might have a point. As it is... Believe it or don't, cherries actually help as does giving the red wine a rest and drinking more water; who'd 'a thunk?0 -

Or the tenants parents have connections.getmore4less wrote: »I don't know the law on this but a council that is on top of complaints and has the resources to act promptly is refreshing.0 -
so YOU buy a house at a price YOU chose and then YOU rented it out at a price YOU chose, yet you aren't willing to do the maintenance because the yield isn't high enough.
What about when the boiler breaks ? do they not have heating or hot water as it isn't cost effective to get them a boiler ?.
You get years and years of profit out of by to let there will be some years you don't make a profit on a particular property, that's the life you have chosen though. I often wonder where the negative sentiment towards landlords come from then I read these types of posts.
You call them troublesome tenants because they want a habitable property ?
Since you don't know if the repairs done by the OP's roofer are perfectly adequate ( which makes a nonsense of your claim that the OP does not do maintenance) and the Tenants father ( who is not party to any contract) is making problems up that do not exist you cannot possibly say if property is habitable or not.
When you hear what the council have to say you may be better informed to be able to make such judgements0
