Seriously?

Go and sit in your airing cupboard, and see if it's any warmer than outside....

Economy 7 and a smart meter

by NaomiB

I bought my tenant three new night storage heaters at the beginning of last year to replace the old ones.

I have just taken back management of this flat and a couple of weeks ago she emailed me about them. I told her that this particular meter had the economy 7 coming on at 8am in the...

Just an aside, if you tenant is in full time education she is probably not entitled to welfare benefits unless she has a disability. If she is in receipt of a student loan and is struggling, she should ask her college hardship fund for help. They are very good at assisting lone parents to ensure they...

Reply to Cant accept visitors with pets

by Section20z

Landlord is the relevant party and presumably knows his lease so as long as she has his consent there's no problem and it certainly won't affect any reference

Reply to Freezing cold, outdated heating and draughty insulation

by Canning18

Heaters seem to have sorted themselves out by now. Insulation is the much bigger issue though.

I've noticed a 1 by 4cm cutout in the drywall under the windowsill that lets in so much air it makes the curtains move by themselves.

Similarly, there is a nearly 1 cm gap between...

Freezing cold, outdated heating and draughty insulation

by Canning18

Hi folks,

I’ve been renting a flat through a housing association for a few years now but find my flat to be insanely freezing during the winter (it never bothered me too much before Covid as I was away with work a lot). Last year was the first year I was around all winter and I’ve ended...

Update. Got this reply "All the advice you have given is very much appreciated but they are things that i have already done at one point or another over the past 7 years.

A long time ago we lived in a house with sash windows. We used to stuff folded up bits of newspaper in the gaps.

You can get brush draught excluders to screw to the bottom of your door.
