There's bad people on both sides remember although you wouldn't think it judging by this thread.

This is the sort of thing we need more of: http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009...dlord-register
the best way and i know its hard but its for the tenants to walk away from those landlords even if it means taking other temporary housing

i don't understand why those landlords dont fix their houses maybe now the properties gaining value just by sitting there they may think again but in any case the best remedy is to remove their income

personally if the landlord was like that i wouldn't want to be his tenant even if the council eventually got him to fix the house

i do know there are bad on both sides which is why i wouldn't moan about all the certificates i would have to get if i ever let out a house again though you will find lots of landlords that do

ps i would still moan about those vents though lol
