portsmouthhd really you find this acceptable under the Landlords and Tennets Act?

Problems that could lurk in many public buildings, even hospitals and schools.

And i thought my 1860 house in scotland was bad!

Disgusting

Shocking greedy landlords and management companies methinks

Thank you!

Why wouldn’t residents with the backing of local authority, set up a secure deposit account and ALL pay their rent into it, so it just sits there. Negligent landlords will soon address issues if not receiving their rent…

Majority people elected 'wrong' leaders & expecting they will do 'right'. 'wrongs' can do 'rights'?

Some nice gold wallpaper would cover that up.
