Passing Time Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 1 hour ago, The Bastard said: I read it, it was tedious, and blamed the flat owner despite you not actually knowing what had caused the damp or what challenges he had (he mentioned some in the interview) that might be affecting his ability to do maintenance. That's not being an adult, that's being an asshole. In your mad panic to get offended and fire off insults, you failed to read the post correctly. I'll post it here so that you and your girlfriend Teapot can get your collective heads out of each others arses and pay attention to the important bits. I've put them in bold to make it easy for you... I agree but if the tenant won't open their windows from time to time then you can't really complain about damp. Now if it's a case that they can't open their windows then that's a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happier diner Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 5 hours ago, WTF said: it's not damp though, it's condensation , lots of houses had air in and air out through a chimney , they have blocked off chimneys , fitted double glazed units and there is no airflow through buildings like there used to be. so you get condensation and mould . No way would that much damp be caused just by not opening windows. There is almost certainly water ingress here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the issue of the tenants mobility is a major issue. They could find him a home within a sheltered complex, then start major refurbishment of the flat.?

2112 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Very quiet on the media front, with the state of Corpy properties, especially from the NPM, Minister Thomas and those two national social justice campaigners Joney Faragher and Sarah Maltby. Is it beyond the wit of man to quickly solve this problem within 24 hours, or at least get the ball rolling? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silence is deafening, both from the NPM, Minister Thomas, Douglas MHKs etc. Perhaps there aren’t enough worthwhile votes in Quines Corner/North Quay. If it was Pully, Anagh Coar then expect it to be wall to wall coverage. What’s Environmental Healths role within this? After all they were supposed to the housing police!

Serious question, but he's posted publicly about this property and the actions that he's taking, what do you feel is lacking? Would you prefer he had done nothing, or? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
