The landlords, Mr. Oswald and his wife, consistently failed to take the damp, humidity and insulation problems in this flat seriously. Despite repeated reports and clear evidence, their response was slow, dismissive, and focused more on defending themselves than fixing anything. Instead of addressing the root causes, they repeatedly implied the issues were due to my “habits” rather than acknowledging the well-known structural problems in the property.
When they eventually sent someone out, it was always a quick, superficial check with no lasting repairs. There was never any sense of urgency, accountability, or responsibility for providing a healthy living environment. Communication was vague, passive, and at times felt like an attempt to minimise or invalidate the problems I was living with.
What makes it worse is that I recently learned that three other tenants left this same flat within the last year to year and a half — all because of the exact same issues: severe humidity, damp, and poor insulation. This clearly shows that the landlords were fully aware of the state of the property long before I moved in, yet chose to continue renting it out without fixing the underlying problems.
Their handling of the situation has been negligent, dismissive, and extremely stressful, and future tenants should be aware that these issues are longstanding and unresolved, not one-off or tenant-related.
