Apologies for the digression, but all this reminds me of an issue with a rental property a few years back, I was there to fit a new consumer unit. The tenant was there to let me in before heading off to work, but cryptically told me he had put a board down in the bathroom to make access easier.
When I went in said bathroom after he had gone, I found the floor had mostly rotted, and what was left of it had such an incline that one side of the room was a few inches lower than the other side. There was a leak from the bathroom plumbing that had rotted the flooring including some of the joists. It transpired this had been going on for some years, but not reported. On discussing with the agent, it turned out this was likely the reason the tenant was always reluctant to have any work done.
Outcome was the whole bathroom had to be stripped out, new flooring fitted including joist repairs/replacements, then a complete new bathroom.
Thanks for sharing this dodgy tenant experience - But not all tenants should be tarred under the same brush.... I had some issues with heating when first moved into property and had no heating or hot water for several days at the start of the tenancy, in freezing weather.... The managing agents completely ignored any of my communications....
There are equally as many rouge landlords, as there are rouge tenants.
Does anyone have any experience of using the Epoxy glue on a leak?
