apparently it was the quickest and easiest way of maintaining a supply until a permanent repair could be made.

ive had similair situation high ze reading etc but to be fair to them they sorted the problem within days, i doubt the landlord is that bothered too as you will be talking in foreign language to him, it may pay you to issue a danger cert to the landlord just to cover your self he may persue the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. either way your --- is covered.
