Tenants are often forced to overlook property's faults as you're powerless u00f0u009fu0092u00b8 But when you're forced OUT these faults become shameful.
I've been pushed out (8 months pregnant) & it's heartbreaking to lose your home.
Good luck to YOU.
We moved out of a house once with a massive damp problem and when we moved our wardrobe there was a massive black mould patch on the wall. The letting agents said “well if you will choose to live like that” wankers.
