Originally posted by WTFH View PostAh yes, all landlords are perfect, all tennantsare evil benefit scroungers who probably just squeeze out babies for benefits and don't tick the boxes to make them valid human beings.
I just pointed out the black & white attitude of Lady Muck was incorrect. Do try reading the links, this is the social housing providers so heavily regulated quangos paying out for mould because the court normally favour the tenant as its hard to prove fault in condensation mould cases.
Now if you want to start pointing fingers here is a study about the type of tenancies that result in NOSPs (notice of eviction) again for Housing associations so accusations of malice or penny pinching don't work.

They grouped their customers by ethnicity,deprivation and dwelling type. Yes being white British & on benefits means you are most likely to have legal arrears action.
Cluster 3: Benefit-dependent White Britishflat-dwellers• High deprivation• Almost exclusively living in flats or maisonettes• Second highest concentration of White British• Most likely to have legal arrears action• Highest users of HB Direct and several other rentpayment methodsAlways forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Or that Tenants are not always innocent and we should improve detection so we can be sure its being fixed and people don't have to live in a mouldy dwelling even if they caused it?

Detecting the conditions and fixing them are two separate things.

FFS.
Does everything have to be spelled out in minute detail?
There are excellent tenants. There are bad tenants. There are excellent landlords. There are bad landlords. Equally, there are also poor and wealthy tenants, and poor and wealthy landlords.
Poor but good tenants at the mercy of a bad landlord (usually well off due to their dodgy practises) was the scenario I failed to spell out in the level of detail required to prevent idiots thinking I believe all landlords are bad and don't maintain their properties.
I am fortunate to have a good landlord. Not all people are so lucky.
And, yes, I do agree that tenants who fail to do basic things like open a window to let air circulate then complain about damp are in the bad tenant category no matter what they themselves may believe.Comment
