Hi

 

We currently rent privately a 3 bedroom bungalow which used to be surrounded by trees. Last summer, the landlord decided to have all the trees ripped out (without any warning to us - we awoke one saturday with a pile of workmen out our back yard and tramping around the house) and left our garden in an awful mess. As a result, all the drains are blocked and to go out around the house, we have to wear wellies. There are also pipes sticking out from the ground and tree stumps all about, which could be a health hazard to our 4 kids, who cannot use the garden to play in.

 

In the past we have complained about the heating which wasn't working and the landlord arrived unannounced shouting the odds that it wasn't up to him.

 

We have taken pictures of the back garden and took them to the letting agent but they say that if we complain, we have to be prepared to be given a months notice as our landlord is short tempered and likely to evict (some protection from the letting agent eh?) They acknowledge that it looks a mess and could be dangerous.

 

We don't want to move but we want it sorted? does anyone know where we stand?

Hi there; sorry to hear about this nuisance. Have a look at the "sticky" post on top about eviction, posession and notice.

If anything is not clear, come back and ask.

Remember: l/lord can only evict you with a court order. The whole possession process can take up to 6 months.

The letting agent is quite right to point out that you can be evicted, they work for the landlord. I would've thought that he would need to give you two months notice. I would personally ask the agent to look for another property.

 

If you don't want to move, then try and speak to him and outline your concerns, but give him a reasonable amount of time to sort it out.
