The property was very shoddy. There were gaps of daylight in front and rear doors. Decorative paintwork was streaky and patchy.
Damp patches on bedroom ceiling where roof tiles had slipped, causing water ingress. Eventually the affected area collapsed, causing plaster to fall onto our bedroom items.
The loft contained all manner of junk and, apparently, "antiques" collected by the landlord who used this space for storage. The loft void was open to the adjoining properties loft space (surely illegal?), a property which was also owned the landlord, and also contained several junk items.
The 'kitchen' was essentially a piece of worktop on 2 very old cabinets with a sink in the middle.
The bath was in dire need of replacement or re-enameling. Landlord's answer was to paint the bath with emulsion!
The central heating system was in a poor state, and the boiler was mounted over the bath, with no 'splash' protection for the exposed cables and electrical wiring. The boiler frequently leaked gas and had to be reported/shut down on several occasions.
The garden shed was another area used by the landlord to store his rubbish, and was often inhabited by rats and vermin, and was something that was never addressed or resolved.
