Default Rogue landlords - for joey steel

These are genuine photos of an end terrace house which rogue Agents put a young couple in, KNOWING that the girl was 6 months pregnant.

The Agents KNEW that the property had long standing problems with severe lateral penetrating damp, damp from a roof which leaked in in several areas, and advanced blackdamp through inadequate ventilation and other reasons, but did not tell the young couple.

Nor did the young couple know that more than one previous tenant had moved out due to the Agents failure to even come out to address the problems.

Instead of remedying the problems, the Agents emulsion painted over the problems then used a proprietary Damp Cover spray to conceal the massive problems - something which would only be effective for a period long enough to allow the couple to view the property, sign the Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, and pay over a thousand pounds by way of Bond and first month's rent.

After just one week the damp and fungus and blackdamp started to reappear but the Agents ignored ALL notifications of the problems and ALL requests for them to come out and remedy them.

By just the third week, thousands of pounds worth of the tenants personal effects, furniture, clothes and baby crib and furniture, bedding and clothes were ruined by damp and mould contamination.

The Agent's denied ALL responsibility and liability, but I took up the tenant's case (no I'm not a lawyer, just someone who has been in property for a very long time) and it has been satisfactorily settled without litigation.

I am currently handling another similar case for an Albanian couple against a Polish landlord! and I WILL win them fair compensation too.

Here's some of the photos Joey:
