When i first moved in i was told that the heater was broken and I’d be getting a new one… but instead the landlord sent a dodgy ‘electrician’ who bypassed a burt out switch in it… but i think the thermostat isn’t working because it doesn’t turn on and off… it just runs all the time…
then i tell my agent that the cook top aren’t working either… their either on or off… no in-between…. and now the oven is doing the same… The agent organized a time to come and have a look, but she brought the landlord with her! I thought the point of an agent was so i didn’t have to deal with the landlord? but anyway… the landlord asked a bunch of questions and told me she wasn’t going to do anything about it because it would be too expensive to replace them… she recommended i just turn the heater off at the wall when the room got too hot. She even said she wouldn’t fix them without raising my rent!
the agent just kept giving me sympathetic looks and didn’t speak out at all…
i read the handbook a bunch of times and it says in there under URGENT REPAIRS
“Repairs are considered to be urgent if they are needed to fix:”
“a failure or breakdown of any essential service or appliance provided by the landlord or agent for hot water, water, cooking, heating or laundering”
Are my rights being violated? Please can someone help me? i’m due for a house inspection any week now and i need to be reassured that if i mention it again i wont get evicted or have my rent raised… i cant pay any more on my own and i live in a bedsitter so a room mate is out of the question.
