Just check Shelter.org.uk they will tell you how to fight with your landlord. There are 5 stages, after writing those 5 letters, you’re free to fix it yourself and deduct the cost from your rent.

Of course the agency or landlord will harass you. Tell them to go and call the police on you, that you have all the letters that you sent to the landlord/agency and you will give it to the police with a link to shelters website. That it will be an easy investigation.

That’s how I shut my landlord and agency up, when they wanted to bully, rubbish, they don’t know that I’m a mad woman!

Thank you. Will check them out. I have written my council “private tenant reporting your landlord thingy”. Will check this shelter.org too. I have never lived anywhere that a tenant had to take responsibility for such repair!

Did you also escalate crack, when you moved in?..…...

Do you have any picture and video evidence of property, before you fully moved in (highlighting all issues) ?.......?

Quite frankly, I didn’t escalate it when I moved it. It was a very tiny little crack or slit ( you know like making a line with a razor blade). It didn’t seem like anything to me but I realised it was extending with time and the tray felt like it was gaping hence I reported it. Now, they say it wasn’t reported in the inventory. But any case, whether it was there before I moved in or it developed after I moved it, is it the tenants responsibility to fix such problems?? I mean broken door handles, hinges, batteries and stuff I can understand but things like this surely shouldn’t be the tenant’s responsibility na.

I hear cat lick bath, is the English way......... grin They are simply trying to take advantage......

How many months you got left on your tenancy?...

After all said and done, landlord might refuse to renew........ (Take note)..........

My current agreement expires end of next month. They asked if I would like to renew and I asked for open contract and also raised the issue of my cracked shower tray aswell as my oven that was bad right from when I moved in. They quickly changed the oven same day and now want me to pay for replacing shower tray. Bear in mind I reported this bad oven when I moved in and they ignored it. Now that renewal is almost due, they quickly changed it and are trying to coerce me to pay for their cracked shower tray.... a tray that had 1 crack when I moved in.

It's the landlords responsibility to ensure his/her property, is fit for purpose........

Having a warm shower, forms a key part of your enjoyment of that property (not unless you be oyinbo, wey dey use bowl and flannel)..... grin

Unless they can proof accidental damage..... Which is probably impossible..........

Go on Google and check if that shower plate has had any negative reviews from cracking........


I have seen on both citizens advice and gov.co.uk that Bath, basins and stuff are landlord’s responsibility to make sure they are in good working condition. They have probably seen my long unenglish name and think they can oppress me.

How can I enjoy flannel and bowl after 12hours shift of crazy nhs job. MBA!

It's the landlords responsibility...... If the agent is speaking mandarin, tell them you would escalate to environmental health/private rented housing team at your council........

Watch them start speaking English.......... cheesy


Most councils have a private rented housing team..........


NB : Take pictures and video evidence........


Thank you. Imagine telling me they are willing to pay half of the cost for me and spread it across my rent for a period of one year. What nonsense!

They initially said it was only installed 2years ago and if I have damaged it accidentally, it would be my responsibility. I told them all I do there is shower. Never fallen or dropped a heavy object/item on it, what do they mean by accidental damage?

Meanwhile, I haven’t even lived in the property up to a year!

My shower tray has a crack, I reported to the letting agent and they came back to me with long story.

Hello house please i need your advice. I am really down. I have really be thinking the way forward in been with my wife. I have read all your comments, advices and suggestions the last time I posted the above post and other posts. I am really thanksful and very great full. Many thanks all.

I have discussed with my family and a priest and they said I should try going through student visa to join my wife. That is not proper for us to live apart even if I have a good job. My family said that since we have done the Catholic wedding, we can not live separate, that is not good marriage and breaking up Catholic marriage involves lot of process but, I should try student visa and if things are not working properly, I can then decide the process of moving on with my life if my wife is still dragging her feet in joining her.

Last week my family called my wife and told her to come bk Nigeria so that we do registry and she fills my papers for me to join her OR I try to raise money to process student visa and I start up school in that way we can be together. My wife just told me that if I have the money I can do it, that the ball is in my hands. Please house I am confused, should I go ahead and start processing for student visa, and when I get it, then start school and try to see if my wife can agree to fill for me in the UK. I have started making enquiries on student visa. I also believe that studying can help me get a good job and start of my family life.


plan B is that if i get to UK with student visa, and try to make the marriage work and she refuses to agree to fill for me, I have decided to move on with my life in the UK. My question now for plan B is can I get married with student visa in the UK, how does it work? After my student visa expires can I have extension ?

For plan A if things work out well with me and wife is it possible for us to get married with my student visa? Will the process be long and complicated?

Please house I need your advice on both plan A and B I am always greatful for your wonderful advice, espicially those of you that take out y time to comment.God bless. Many thanks.


Why does she need to come back to Nigeria for registry wedding since you wedded in a Catholic Church? I thought catholic marriage certificates are recognised.

Mummies in the house,
My baby is almost 6 months old. Gave birth early November and my period came back January and it’s been regular since then and I always see it at early in the month. I haven’t seen my period this April that’s ending now. Last time I saw it was early March. I’m worried I don’t want to be pregnant. I’ve done the home pregnancy test 4 times and it’s negative. Yet no period till now.
Should I be worried. Today is 25th



Teamie teamie from November

My period never even return. Just wait it out and repeat home PT again.

Hello Mummies,

Please, what can I use to cure the rashes on my two weeks old baby.

Please, don't read and pass. Abeg!


New born skin act funny sometimes , could be milk reaction or withdrawal of maternal hormone from baby. I would suggest you leave it, it will clear. My baby’s face was worse at that age. I was told to leave it. It did clear and now she has the healthiest skin ever
