Pauline Bird in Reading

This landlord is rude, aggressive and made me feel unsafe in my own home. He refused repairs to make the property safe so I contacted Environmental Health and then he revenge evicted me! I was a good paying, tidy and respectable tenant and was served a Section 21 because I asked for repairs! There were so many issues in the short 6 months I was in the flat. Prospect told me I could use my own white goods so I stored the landlords rusty microwave and broken fridge safely and bought my own. He came to “fix” a leak in the bathroom (he did not fix it) and saw my fridge and went mad, demanding I put his white goods back immediately and expecting me to use his rusty/broken appliances. He was pedantic about everything (wouldn’t even let me put one hook on the back of the bathroom door when there was nowhere to hang towels). He didn’t fix the leak in the bathroom until I contacted Environmentally Health, the hob light was broken before I moved in, he wouldn’t tell me the paint colour for slight touch ups but tried to take £600 of my deposit for complete redecoration which was completely unjustified. He will not put a penny into the house and will only carry out vital repairs if you complain to Environmental Health and he is told he has to. I am currently fighting him for my deposit and he is trying to charge me for things that are evidentially on the inventory from before I even moved in! He is a very rude, greedy and unreasonable man. Definitely not someone you would want as a landlord!
