Putting the laughter back into slum housing

[charitynjw]

While we wait for the Big Society to be formed and save us all from doom and gloom, we continue to strive away in Broken Britain, with metaphorical crows pecking out our metaphorical eyes while we metaphorically sleepwalk from day to day.
The worst of those metaphorical crows is probably the rogue landlord, renting out shabby flats to desperate twats before retiring to his own mansion every evening and farting into a nest of cash.........................

Re: Putting the laughter back into slum housing

Oh.....just one more thing......
use of distress, coercion, unfair influence and unfair relationship in private rented housing contracts

The ability to kick out private tenants on 2 months notice is a threat to them. And when you you make serious omissions in representing your property to me......then I move in...
...then you refuse to repair, and I'm forced to, in order to make it habitable...

...then, when I complain, or when I'm late with rent (perhaps I'm objecting to something???)...
....and you threaten me with eviction....

....do we have a coercive relationship, a distressing relationship, an unfair one, or one where one party has undue influence over the other?

...oh, I'm sorry. That was an unfair question, wasn't it? Because it's ALL OF THESE.

But it's not one of human rights, as the European Court so rightly said, now I think of it.
It's matter of unfair relationship.
Which is where my LETTING AGENT comes in..........cos they're trading (CPUTR) - not me - or the landlord.....

Oh, and the contract my letting agent gave me has unfair terms - like, I can't have a lodger, I can't work here (even though I have a recording of them saying I could)...and I think it negates some or all of the landlord's responsibility to repair..........

So, I in communicating with my letting agent, I use the UCTA, DPA (they said I was anti-social when I swore ONCE in my home, and the neighbours, presumably, heard + reported)..........and finally, CPUTR.

...sending a DPA SAR to get the anti-social behaviour thing off.

These things have a specific definition, you can't just use them whenever you feel like it.

Reputation in law is quite important, isn't it?

...oh, and the invoice for all this nasty work...already taken from rent...£25/hr - it's very skilled, and I'm under duress...

...LHA, council are aware, in writing...

UCTA and CPUTR come later...softly softly

Please transfer to post "Re: Letter to Stephen Gilbert re. the UK housing scam" for a political discussion of these issues with housing here - thankyou.

I do not have time to continue my individual thread at LB.
