Possible structural damage.. need advice

the_devil_made_me_do_it

I live in a rented house. Over the past few yrs, the housing association have carried out a number of renovations to the property. None of the renovations have proven to be of benefit to me or the house.

I have noticed, over time, cracks ect appearing both outside and inside the house. These cracks have gotten worse. I am concerned that the house has serious structural problems. The area I live in has seen a number of properties demolished due this problem & I'm frightend my home maybe affected.

I have spoken with the housing association, who are quite content to just cover the cracks. However, I've noticed that where cracks have recently been covered, more have appeared.

I need advice on who I should speak to about this, preferably independent of the housing association.

Apologies, I think I maybe referring to possible subsidence/movement which is causing the cracks ect to appear.

well for a start, there was quite a wide crack running along the exterior wall all the way round the house. I asked the housing association to cement around the house, which the did a few months ago. I will check for other exterior problems.
