The gas board disconnected my gas supply in June after finding four leaks in the pipe leading to the cooker. I sent a copy of the engineers report to my landlord, but she won’t replace the pipe, also the roof is leaking badly. I am 72 and my family have lived in this house for the past 50 years. I pay £34 a week under the Rent Act.
Your landlord is in breach of the Landlord and Tenant Act. You should see a solicitor straight away to take the landlord to court to force her to reconnect your gas supply. It seems to me that you also have a very good case for compensation. The council’s environmental health department could also take the landlord to court, but getting your own solicitor involved may be quicker.
