A lot of renters aren’t willing to do any maintenance, basic things like sweeping the hall or in front of the property, changing the smoke detector battery or just picking up a $10 toilet seat at the store. They want the landlord to do every little thing. I told my landlord to get me a small tin of paint so I could touch up the door myself whenever it gets scuffed so that the entry hallway to the building looked decent. There’s a lot of bad landlords, but if you care about where you live, you should at least make some effort
She’s a born liar and you can see it, and he should evict her. She’s nothing but a disgrace and she’s a filthy piece of work. She needs to stop claiming benefits and get a job.
@@nickimillennium Unfortanly, in many places in the US, touching those is a BIG No-No. People rarely read their renters rights or even the lease/rental agreement, but most ask you to give access to maintenance to change those batteries. Taking them down is a HUGE fine!
Oh yeah, she's a scammer alright, Boohoo my kids , not paying rent and rejecting landlords past entrance , messing with hydro etc. Then contracting outside help to get out of rent . What a troll , living in squalor with kids just to get out of paying.
Agreed. There was lots of holes in the wall, smashes toilet. I bet children daddy was around doing some domestic smashing and she covers this up. I really doubt the window was smashed by a ball
Praise the tenant that cleaned his flat, I also suffer from severe depression and my house needs a desperate cleaning, which I've made a vow to clean it myself
Me too. My husband and two children died, I became disabled and live alone and the depression becomes so severe- plus I have so much pain from my disability. I know what kind of difficulty and trauma you're going through too. I hope you find someone to help you out and that you find comfort and peace. ✨🌷😊
She hasn't looked after her flat, its a mess. The bathroom looks like she's never cleaned it. . She needs to use a dehumidifier if drying washing. And she needs to dry any condensation on windows. She's not paying any rent and its obviously getting paid for her as she's on benefits, she's dishonestly keeping it.
Drying washing? if you look at the bed shits where the baby is lying they looked like never been washed. She is crying how she cares for her kids wellbeing but clearly she doesnt give a dam.
all goes rent, ask for the tends not paying, there rent, there one £9,000, get your own builds in get list quotes, maybe the a count to give you go ahead, the there very keen send ballets out put all built photos, what repaired, and I would something court a court there happy making your own repairs, and keep sll receipts, and marked money pain, and comeback land lord, forward copys only, repairer bill paid,
@@alexxx7066 Speak for yourself. I bought a house in Romania for £6000 and fixed it up for £10k. Zero mortgage. You're just accepting of the serfdom life. Enjoy!
Well, LOL, it is a bit more nuanced than that. I have a feeling you know that, however. In my city, the rent is obnoxious! I pay over $3200.00 month in rent ( about £2511.00 ) and a mortgage in another state. I guess we shall see what happens.
I feel sorry for the landlords. Of course the landlords are responsible for structural problems, but not the cleaning of these properties. These tenants need to clean their flats, being poor is not an excuse for lack of cleanliness!
I understand that the children should be monitored by Children and Family Services. This young woman needs help as well. If she could have the support to learn how to cook, clean and care for her children she would cope better. Please have compassion for these people, they just do not have the coping skills required to live a happy and productive life. Instead of judging and complaining, start helping these people. It would mean lower crime rates and less tax money spent dealing with the fallout of these situations.
@@dianethompson2458 everyone can do with help in one way or another and can be better people but its got nothing to do with the landlord disrespecting his own property and ripping off the taxpayer. you are not a parent so you dont know what a good mother is or isnt
@@yagushka Isnt it kinda a council flat right now? I mean theres no way a person like her can afford 1100 pounds in rent per month by herself. Im assuming the government is already paying rent etc
Why didn't the single mother do something about that apartment 6 months earlier. Instead of not paying rent for 8 months? At least the other tenant is paying his rent. It's more than the others are doing.
She just try get council flat so she dont have to pay.... Atm she gotta pay for private one. So she do this all to get council flat obv council can't let her live on street with kids
My thought exactly. That toilet was disgusting and totally not suitable for two young kids. Where is the kids father/s in all this? I noticed there was another man in her flat when some of the repairs were done.
@@ohmeowzer1 Where is the father, she can't say they keep getting away. She is part of the problem and should use birth control if she can't provide for her children.
Can clean with no water. Just excuses to be nasty lazy pig. Dont need water to take out trash and sweep floors. Diaper wipes, windex, paper towels will do alot of cleaning and no water needed. I have cleaned floors with nothing but a box of diaper wipes. I have washed floors and walls with windex and paper towels. I bet my neighbor has hot water, maybe even some soap and a bucket. There is no reason to be a pig. Ive had neighbors ask for trash bags and cleaning supplies. Well i share a wall and walk past your door to smell it. Here take all you need and if they ask be surprised how many will give cleaning supplies.

Charlotte is throwing accusations but she not allowing the landlord to defend himself. She is a despicable person. I pity her poor kids, being brought up in squalor. No excuse for the filth. Just laziness. She has destroyed that flat.
She doesn’t let anyone speak. Charlotte just wants pity and a free place. So irritating! If it’s that bad then MOVE!! She’s acting as if she’s paying rent but she’s not. That in itself is disgusting!
@@deekemp6736 I agree and this footage is from 2016? 2015? I do wonder how her kids turned out. I wonder how Charlotte turned out. She was a drug addict back then, this much is evident. I hope she got the help for her drug habit and that the kids were taken into care and fostered or adopted so they at least can have a clean start. Charlotte was a manipulator but I do not imagine that it turned out well for her.
I agree - but has anyone suggested she is severely depressed? I wonder if several months on an antidepressant would help her? Does she have a connection to a church - because the young mother needs some loving ladies willing to do true Christian service & help her. (We have done that at my church before✝️)
@@davisholman8149 she doesn't seem like the church type tbh. It look as though she thought having a baby would be the answer to her not having to work. She needs to get that child into nursery and get herself trained up in a trade
@@URFUTUREUK number one , what the heck does church do with anything ? Second of all how you do know she hasn’t already trained in any type of trade ? How is she meant to work around this and look after her babies ??? Why is it all on the mother ???? It takes 2 to tango ! And if you are a church going person why haven’t you got more empathy and why aren’t you following your own religion by helping others ?? Shame most of you put others down than actually help !!

Social Services should deduct people's rent money from the benefits and pay it to the landlord direct. LOTS of problems solved for landlords and having to remove children
That's how it's done in my country. Rent taken out b4 they get their benefits and paid directly to landlord. We can also have a set amount a week sent straight to power company
I live in a tiny flat that looks like an absolute palace because Ive decorated and LOOKED AFTER IT. It was an absolute state when I moved in but I pay my rent and have made it the very best I can 👍
yes and your comfortable and you take pride in your home - some ppl are their own worst enemy I suspect charlotte might be making a case for council housing
To stop condensation every time you use the bath. Or shower open the bloody window. For half an hour afterwards. It doesn't, matter if its −2 outside.🤔🇬🇧
I don’t even have mold problems in my house and I never close the bathroom door if I can help it and I leave the window open as long as it’s not humid after showering. Once mold is established of course it needs proper remediation but a lot of times it’s preventable. However, in this case, I’m sure she moved in to the flat with mold the landlord seems like a scumbag regardless.
@@mariancounsellorI've got mould in my own house. I had a lodger who refused to open windows in their room, so now I have to remediate it. They've cost me more than I've saved
If you actually have a bathroom window that is, my flat doesn't. I've had to buy dehumidifying equipment to combat it as that extractor fan is useless against it. Me and my landlords both agree on what a crap design that bathroom is as it's caused no end of problems, and that's using the term, "crap" as placeholder for other not so kind words.
@@Chicken-x6q6d I have been in a few bathrooms in my time without a window but 98% do have windows Open the bathroom door then open the window in your flat (apartment) afterwards .
That woman Charlotte is playing the system. She's the one that's tampering with the fuse and has broken the windows. She's a tenant nightmare. She's put her children in danger. Family services should investigate her negligent
When she said "I will start a repayment plan" for the almost £10K rent she owes. When you stop paying rent you are not supposed to spend it, you should keep it to pay the landlord if the repairs have been done
I feel she is trying to get those ppl to feel bad for her and give her anew place to live bc she just wants to get out of paying. She is the one who destroyed everything and if her kids aren't safe as a mother she has to make them safe so MOVE but she would rather their safety be at risk than pay rent
I am so glad they gave the depressed guy a chance. When you get deep into your depression, you look at the things around you that are untidy, but you just can’t make yourself move. I also hope he gets help and of course meets a good woman.
the problem is the council and government. we need tougher laws for bad tenants. on the streets if they commit property damage, rent arrears repeatedly. no help from tax payers
She well took the fuse out! Has a cheek to complain about the property when she 9k in arrears 😂 These ppl who think they can just have everything handed to them. He needs to evict her asap
The property managers are so lovely, compassionate and understanding. I have an adult son who can suffer from serve depression and Ive seen it cripple him so much he lost his full time job. Mental illness can seriously hi-Jack a person life. My son 3yrs on still finds it really hard to return to full time work and on meds for the depression. Hats off to the agents showing compassion and seeing where it is generally needed it's very hard to cope with mental illness, depression on your own and I really hopethis guy gets help ❤️❤️to him
Im in my mid 30's now and doing very well but I had a few years where my mental state made my life a mess. Also lost my job and couldnt keep my apartment clean. My parents both supported me so so much and without them I dont think I'd be here today. I literally hit rock bottom. Please keep supporting your son - it means the entire world to him - even if he doesnt always show it 😊
Currently in that state myself. I git no support and not on meds because I don't need to feel more suicidal. For people like me there is no help or support if you don't function like every adult you get left behind to die.
Sorry but that woman in Harrow should be ashamed of herself leaving that toilet so dirty. How unhygienic for her kids. Perhaps if she tried tidying and cleaning up each night she would get more sympathy for the other bad conditions. Many of the older generations lived in really bad conditions but the mother/parents ensured the rooms were kept clean and tidy. I wonder if everything was done workwise on the flat, just how long before it was in a dirty state again? She owes £9,000 in rent and also decides to remove wall mounted heaters, so it is more to her liking. No sympathy from me but perhaps her kids should be looked after by social services.
Some people. Can't look after themselves. Never mind kids. That's why social services get involved if you are a decent person and you look after your kids and clean your home. You don't get a visit off social services. We. Never did why because we did things properly.🏴
When you rent a property OK, it is not yours, but you have to live in it, so you maintain it little bit. I don't mean big jobs. I am on the landlord side here. I rent a property of the council. Its not mine, never will be but I still maintain it. But the likes of the electric & the gas. I let the landlord sort that out.. But little repairs like tiles in the kitchen. I would do myself or get somebody who can do these things for me.🤔🇬🇧
Well I have lived in my flat for 17 years and I have never had a problem. Why? Because I maintain it? And why do I maintain it because I am the one living there? Some people even phone the council up because the doors come off the hinges instead of getting someone , or yourself to screw the bloody door back on . Simple 😂🇬🇧
@aprilapril2 Really? Yes she did! She's been there for months the rotten windows are her fault. Just look at the mess of the place it's clearly her own doing, don't be a dumbass April
@@aprilapril2 if you dont treat your wood and leave windows open, it will develop rot; its her negligence that led to that. Unless she has the money to go pay an expert for his testimony she can use to condemn the place- she needs to stfu and call the council before 2 years pass what a joke.
@@shuaibsaleem569literally, if there rot on the inside like that she's either been leaving the window open or letting condensation build up on the windows and not wiped them down, happens at my home if we don't wipe them down in the morning
That hoarding tenant, bless him. I hope that inspection gave him a wakeup call and he now enjoys the newly cleaned house! It also hopefully showed him that he can indeed do it when he needs to!
I live in low income housing in Washington. My landlord is a slumlord. It took 3 years to get my smoke detectors fixed,, my dishwasher fixed, a water leak fixed, 2 weeks to fix my fridge, 6 months to fix my stove, and I pay my rent in full every month. there is so much wrong. It's either you deal with it or be homeless. before anyone suggests contact authorities. I have contacted tenant rights board, city council, county council, housing authority.
@@bambinaforever1402 This is an insanely out of touch perspective to have. Low income doesn’t always mean “not having a job.” The people who work at the fast food restaurants we eat at are often low income, the people who work at stores like Target and Walmart are often considered low income. With inflation and the cost of living becoming almost impossible for even middle class citizens, I truly don’t understand how you thought your comment made any sense to post. I implore you to have a little sympathy and educate yourself before making yourself look like an idiot on public forums.
@@bambinaforever1402 just because I live in low income does not mean I don't work. Your assumptions make you look like an ass. The response of buy a house, is not something everyone can do, Your comment makes you completely sound like an ass.
@@bambinaforever1402 why should they buy a new dishwasher when they pay EXTRA for a fully furnished house . Also not everyone can get a mortgage because despite being able to pay the repayments every month they can't afford the massive deposit you have to put down or there credit rating isn't good enough to get a mortgage despite earning a decent wage .!!
Since when was it her house? He should issue her with a Section 21 and get rid of her. She's punched holes and ripped out a toilet, a heater and an electricity fuse and owes him £9k. Cash that the taxpayer has given her to pay the rent and she is just keeping it in the bank. This is disgraceful.He should kick her out.
Part of me feels sorry for the landlord. She doesn't seem to be paying rent so perhaps the landlord is refusing to carry out works on the property on that basis? She has kids and doesn't seem to be making any effort to clean the property. Absolute tip to let your kids crawl about in that!
I wish I knew about the property prohibition order by the council. I took on a tiny house that was so damp there was condensation running down the walls, fluffy white mild growing on the walls, little hot water and only an old single gas fire in the small lounge, no other heating to keep the damp from the river at bay. It destroyed my clothes, everything was wet. It was awful. I moved out once the 6 month tenancy was up. There was a flea infestation from the old carpet. Just horrendous. The landlord did nothing.
That fuse from the Harrow house didn't walk away by itself. I don't believe that a landlord has any interest in taking it out. I think she or someone she hired tried to do DIY or possibly something to do with the electric meters a bit like the guy stealing electricity. I think she should pay for ripping off the radiators and for the hole in the wall. The landlord should take her to court for that. She deliberately sabotaged the property because she wants to be moved and in the process put herself and her poor children through hell. This is what people mean by saying "cutting off your nose to spite your face". She is reason why people do want tenants on benefits.
Banging on about single mums, when the first guy is putting other people's lives at risk by trying to steal electricity. Imagine if it burnt down with all the other tenants there.
@@samuelschick8813 Sounds like you're one of those unintelligent misogynists people bang on about. What about absent fathers who aren't being responsible for their children?

you ar4e clearly a singel mom. We get it you see yourself in that dumb woman BUT she is clearly the one who has stolen the fuse and ruined the window(so she could pocket the rent money that the state pay for
Rubbish these rogue landlords break dozens of laws and prey on vulnerable tenants. They are basically money laundering through properties as well as evading taxes and not obtaining proper licences.
@@andrewjoseph149actually, most rented out homes (maybe not apartments) are rented out by *a* landlord, *not corporations* or landlords owning 10-20 homes. Like me, these small landlords rent out their personal home to be able to handle family matters, such as an aging parent in another city or state. Empty homes invite criminals, drug abusers, and squatters, so a renter in a home keeps them away. Best thing to do: get a property manager or be sure to do a background check looking for criminal or eviction activity. I love my renters, they do little repairs like tightening the screws on kitchen drawer handles, and cleaning the dryer vent all the way outside. I’ve been quick to replace old hot water heater installed in 1989, fixed leak in refrigerator water dispenser, and replaced 25-yr old air conditioner, and fixed a fence between the neighbor’s and my property to ensure big dogs can’t jump over. My intention is to reclaim my house when my parents pass, so having a long term renters is working out well for me. If I decide to sell and not return, I will give renters first rights to purchase before I put it on market.
We cannot do inspections every 3 months, I am a property manager and Tenants have “the right to quiet enjoyment” which makes it difficult for us to be there more. The problem lays with the government
@@kayleighweston8793 it's the norm where I live, we get a months notice before the inspection happens in NSW. I guess it's different depending on which state you live in.

I see the UK has the same situation with baby mommas as we do here in the US. Two types of people in the world, those that work, and those that work the system😢
Double glazing will not fix the condensation problems. Vents and education in how to manage her living space will. The tenant also has to meet the landlord halfway and not be keeping the windows shut 24/7, nor should they be drying clothes indoors unless there's a window open. Yes, the flat is in a bad state, however not all is down to the landlord. The tenant has to take responsibility. I see that there is/was a partner in the flat at some stage as there's photos of him visible in the footage. There's punch marks on the walls, damage to the rads and hot water suggesting that the relationship was volatile and/or controlling in some way. The tenant needs to be honest regarding the damage and the missing fuse to the hot water tank. Honesty can go a lot further towards getting things rectified and a life back on track than being aggressive and obstructive.
@@drinkwater9891as you seem to be standing up for this bad tenant are you her or the father of her kids, who was not around during the filming? She needs to pay her rent and stop removing radiators, pulling tiles off the walls, punching big holes in the walls and clean the place up! No sympathy from me at all.
I live in NZ and I rent. Most rentals here have an inspection every 3 months and we pay rent weekly, no chance for the property to get filthy or to be behind in rent.
Really, they collect rent weekly instead of monthly? And inspect every three months? My landlord inspects once a year but I don’t think that’s very common in the US.
Exactly. I would've had more sympathy if she'd not been so abusive. Now I just feel for the landlord, he allowed her to stay despite owing £9000 and he gets abused like that...
Shut up plonker. The rich don't pay taxes. Stop paying your council tax, I didn't pay, ever, I'm 38. There's no law for paying council tax, it's theft. Use that brain inside your tiny head, muppet.
The lady in the flat has not paid rent for months . She owes 9000 pounds she has ripped the landlord off. Why should landlord pay for repairs when no rent coming from tenants. Tenant could of paid for everything to be done out off rent she has not paid to landlord . She needs to move out because she's not happy there and never will be .she has just played the victim when she's not.
She said she was on benefits. So what has she done with all the housing benefit paid to her. She needs to stop breeding and get a job. The father of those children needs to support his children not the working taxpayers.
Surely a grown gross man who prob lives in a nice house should have more decency than to be renting out a 💩 hole like that to a woman with kids. Am guessing from yr comment u are a scumbag landlord
The money she did not spend on rent, could be used for wallpaper. That’s not the landlord’s problem. The girl isn’t a victim, but she made bad decisions in life.
ah, that young lady with the children - I've met her type too many times in my job and they all try to play the system. She needs to pay her rent and all her arrears too!
My ? is this. What has she done with all the money that the state has given her to pay for the rent that she has not paid ? Something fishy there don't ya fink ?
I have mine paid straight to the Landlord .but I know many people that move in and get the payments redirected to their bank account and the poor landlord doesn't get rent for 18 months
That women from Harrow took the radiator off the wall and she wired it up in another room, so it would look like she fiddled with the electrics. So yes she did put her children’s life’s in danger, she lives in filth that toilet was disgusting, she is also a thief thinking she can get away without paying rent. I would serve her an eviction notice.
people like charlotte are whats wrong with the UK. she is a professional victim and has her hand out permanently. i am glad that i no longer live in the UK.
I live in NZ, i lived in a rental for 6 years and no maintenance was done. Ever. I shouldve been louder! The new tenenat has left, after only 5 months . Agent promised things would be repaired before new tenant as i felt guilty if someone moved into such a unmaintained rotten house. Not even a lick of paint. Spouting rotted out, garage leaks and caught an electrical fire. An absolute abundance of issues, that were never rectified over my years there. I didnt even have smoke alarms for 12 month's of begging for them to be installed. Only reason i got them , was because i made a formal complaint and tenancy said i could take them to court. I left the property in a better condition then i moved in, and got a huge thanks from the cheeky slum lords for it and my "loyalty". I had every right to take them to tenancy, but didnt. The neighbors also made multiple complaints due to illegal plumbing on the property and were disgusted in how rotted the house was and nothing ever been done. There are bad landlords and there are bad tenant's. A house should never be in such condition regardless
I do not understand one thing - that woman who rents and does not pay because prostitutes having sex on the block blah blah blah - first of all how is that a fault of the landlord, second - WHY DID U RENT IT ????? And third - u re RENTING IT, so u do not like something YOU LEAVE. Duh. Or the problem is she does not want to pay rent????
It's a council property, it was the free housing she was assigned. You can't really pick and choose with council housing. However, if the property is condemned, she can be assigned a new house.
When the bailiff comes around or threatens to come around , that is so scary and frightening. You are one step away or going to be Homeless. It nearly happened to My Cousin. He pleaded his case, he promised to get the money and on a wing and a prayer he did. He now pays half of his rent every two weeks which was something he should have done from the get go. He's terrible with financial management and he knows it.
@@drinkwater9891and of course you believe everything this woman in Harrow says. Do we have proof that someone outside broke the window? Maybe she even got someone she knows to do it. I also suspect she pulled off the wall tiles as she even confessed to taking down the wall mounted heaters. Oh and let’s forget the fact she owes £9,000.00 in rent. She no doubt gets government money so why isn’t she paying her rent? Only people who would act like her will agree with her attitude, in my opinion. She also needs to get some house cleaning done. That toilet is disgusting and you cannot blame the landlord for the disgusting state of it. And as the holes in the walls were done from the inside, did the landlord do that too? You seem so gullible 🙄
@@AcausalMonolith whether you need to learn manners or she needs to employ a cleaner has nothing to do with the dodgy landlord not fixing his own property and still expecting rent from the taxpayer
@@drinkwater9891well seems she is also quick enough to expect rent money from the taxpayers. The many months she has not paid the rent, wonder what she has done with that money? Probably at least over 9k in her bank account or now spent on stuff! Landlord and tenant are as bad as each other.
Charlotte is behind on her rent, how is this fair to the landlord? If she would pay her rent, and quit making excuses, he would be more obliged to keep up her apartment.
She is a terrible mother who put her child in danger, You can't blame a landlord for not doing repairs if you wont let them in to do the repairs! What did she think was going to happen, for a repair man to do the work by talking to the problem through the front door.
I have little sympathy for Charlotte. Nobody asked her to have 2 kids with no father around. Most of the damage I can see are things that she or the kids or visitors did. It looks like she took the fuse out herself so as to be able to turn on the tap and claim "look, I have no hot water". She won't pay rent and is behind to such an extent she will never be able to catch up. The landlord should evict her. I suspect it's what she wants, in order to get a nice council place. Those fatherless children are great leverage for getting the council to house you , and so you don't have to work and pay rent.
Why does she need a repayment plan for the rent she hasn't paid? Has the benefits office been paying for her rent? If she chose not to pay because of repairs, she could have put that money by. The fact that she doesn't have the back rent, means she spent it. So the taxpayers will pay for the arrears as well as the original rent benefit she spent.
What a sad f×@$in excuse for a landlord.....I understand trying to save money when and where you can....but literally putting that rotten wooden window back in is too much.....he should really seriously be ashamed of his self. He doesn't need to be a landlord at all....he should be banned. I guarentee his house isn't in that shape
That woman is selfish, as soon as she got hot water she thought about getting in herself with a drink instead of letting her kids have a bubble bath or just sit and play in the water, also too lazy to get dressed when she knows men are coming over.
Can you not see the fear and anxiety running through her? It is all over her face. That place is a dump AND it is in a drug infested area where she is scared to go outside. She is just a young woman with 2 little ones depending on her for everything and she needs a break! You can't tell me the landlord doesn't have a key to that unit. He could have entered to make repairs at any time, with notice. There is no requirement that the tenant be there while repairs are made and it should have been done 8 months ago.
Serving papers to the landlord won’t help if she refuses to let him in, she already kicked him out on video, if she let him in and immediately kicked him out I’m sure she’s done it before
if you cant respect your own property enought o put smoke aarms or fix a broken window then its perfectly within any sane tenants rights to withold payment until its fixed and it shouldnt require a tv crew and the council or the courts to force you to to the basics. people who cant even tie their shoelaces should never become landlords, so many dodgy landlords in this country. slumlords usually of the baby boomer generations with multiple houses they were given cheap by the govt decades ago so they dont respect their excess properties like their own home
It’s six and half a dozen, there are as many bad landlords as tenants, we were in a situation where I paid the rent on time, maintained the place well but ended up being turfed out with a months notice as we didn’t get on with the neighbours who’s son played loud music all night, but who’s mum was best friends with the landlord. If it wasn’t for the council we’d have been homeless with two babies. And I earn good money, so this isn’t just a problem for the poor
@@drackkor725 very very very few tenants withold rent for fear of being evicted and then back on the waiting list so most govt landlords get away with all sorts
Or put a cap on child benefits i live in The US child support comes from the other parent And we don't have all the benefits UK has , yes it's nice but when it's so obvious people take advantage of it
Some people are disgusting. It does not cost so much money to clean. That lady has newborn she can't afford to raise at her age.... She is not clean and she put her kids health at risk, they end up to hospital.... Fed up of people having multiple kids without thinking.
The worst thing to do is stop paying the rent. It gives the landlords more power if they decide to go to the courts. I don't really understand the reason they are being defensive. If the conditions are that bad then look elsewhere. A landlord I knew from Blackpool, there are tenants that more in and they leave a trail of unpaid rent until eventually they end up in bad accommodation. I have seen it, they may pay the first two months rent and then pay nothing and aswel in utilities. It leaves problems for the nexts tenants. It don't justify not paying the rent.
@@joannesaltfleet2071 How the situation is. Once the rent is missed then its two months in arrears. I don't think some people grasp that concept. Its never going to be good playing catch up. That is how it works and that is what speeds the courts up in eviction. They don't have that time.
@@christopherwinstanley1348 What NO ONE on this benighted page understands is that not paying the rent to the landlord, at least in the US, is a right and way to deal with a landlord not fixing certain things or breaking the Warranty of Habitability. the part people are too ill-informed or too lazy to discover is that you must use pay the rent to the court using rent escrow. The renter must first inform the landlord or leasing office that repairs are needed, IN WRITING. After that, the landlord has like 15-30 days (depending on the state you live in) to fix said issues. If not fixed, the tenant THEN asks for rent escrow in court and pays it that way. The court will decide who gets the rent. Maybe instead of people making such nasty ... I'm not even going to say it. Doing one's due diligence helps a lot.
@@kiastar67 It's very different in the UK 🇬🇧 and it's a different legal process. It's good advise here to pay the rent because the landlord has more grounds for eviction, plus it would go against some one in the courts for none payment of rent. Its like the tenant has broken the legal terms of their tenancy agreement. So, the tenant can be prosecuted. It may help anyone to understand the video. There is more regulation here, and they can come down heavy on the landlord. It will be things on health, structural, sanitation, health and safety, electricity and gas. The properties have to be rated for environment and energy... economic efficiency and if there are any underlying issues they are supposed to tell the tenant prior to the agreement and its inventory. That is how an above board landlord should operate. How claim court are different to the 🇺🇸 US. The tenant here don't have any real ground for possession but its harder and costly to evict someone for no apparent reason. Thanks for replying and enlightening me on the US 🇺🇸 ☺☺
In some places the eletric comp can come after the owner of the property for stolen eletric & they dont estimate on the cheap. Seen it with illegal grow houses where they rent the house & throw up grow lights fans heaters water pumps & eletric comp comes in with bills starting at 10 grand & up 😂so just cause u have a renter & agreement dosnt mean u r protected.

Nil shame from Charlotte who chose a father who refuses to be in a traditional relationship with her. She will probably have more kids with this or another man, and still not insist he marries or moves in with her.
@@elizabethforsyth3054 yes it is he only did the work cos he was exposed. But she could have cleaned her toilet, I see the seat is broken which is probably why they filmed it but still....
20:25… I’m sorry but no person either kids would have accepted that flat with punch holes in the walls covered up either masking tape, nor would a landlord rent it out in that condition.. therefore, the punch holes in the walls are from that woman’s tenancy
9 thousand pound in rent and she has not changed that toilet seat or bleached it in 18 months... She made it the slum that it is.
A lot of renters aren’t willing to do any maintenance, basic things like sweeping the hall or in front of the property, changing the smoke detector battery or just picking up a $10 toilet seat at the store. They want the landlord to do every little thing. I told my landlord to get me a small tin of paint so I could touch up the door myself whenever it gets scuffed so that the entry hallway to the building looked decent. There’s a lot of bad landlords, but if you care about where you live, you should at least make some effort
She’s a born liar and you can see it, and he should evict her. She’s nothing but a disgrace and she’s a filthy piece of work. She needs to stop claiming benefits and get a job.
@@nickimillennium Unfortanly, in many places in the US, touching those is a BIG No-No. People rarely read their renters rights or even the lease/rental agreement, but most ask you to give access to maintenance to change those batteries. Taking them down is a HUGE fine!
Exactly what I was thinking. It is easy to blame it all on the landlord but just looking at the toilet tells me enough.
Oh yeah, she's a scammer alright, Boohoo my kids , not paying rent and rejecting landlords past entrance , messing with hydro etc. Then contracting outside help to get out of rent . What a troll , living in squalor with kids just to get out of paying.

I understand that the children should be monitored by Children and Family Services. This young woman needs help as well. If she could have the support to learn how to cook, clean and care for her children she would cope better. Please have compassion for these people, they just do not have the coping skills required to live a happy and productive life. Instead of judging and complaining, start helping these people.

Social Services should deduct people's rent money from the benefits and pay it to the landlord direct. LOTS of problems solved for landlords and having to remove children

To stop condensation every time you use the bath. Or shower open the bloody window. For half an hour afterwards. It doesn't, matter if its −2 outside.🤔🇬🇧
I don’t even have mold problems in my house and I never close the bathroom door if I can help it and I leave the window open as long as it’s not humid after showering. Once mold is established of course it needs proper remediation but a lot of times it’s preventable. However, in this case, I’m sure she moved in to the flat with mold the landlord seems like a scumbag regardless.
That’s true. I’ve never had mould in any place I’ve lived in.
@@mariancounsellorI've got mould in my own house. I had a lodger who refused to open windows in their room, so now I have to remediate it. They've cost me more than I've saved
If you actually have a bathroom window that is, my flat doesn't. I've had to buy dehumidifying equipment to combat it as that extractor fan is useless against it. Me and my landlords both agree on what a crap design that bathroom is as it's caused no end of problems, and that's using the term, "crap" as placeholder for other not so kind words.

Yeah she is and prob not a single mum either..so entitled
When she said "I will start a repayment plan" for the almost £10K rent she owes. When you stop paying rent you are not supposed to spend it, you should keep it to pay the landlord if the repairs have been done

The property managers are so lovely, compassionate and understanding. I have an adult son who can suffer from serve depression and Ive seen it cripple him so much he lost his full time job.

Im in my mid 30's now and doing very well but I had a few years where my mental state made my life a mess. Also lost my job and couldnt keep my apartment clean. My parents both supported me so so much and without them I dont think I'd be here today. I literally hit rock bottom.
Please keep supporting your son - it means the entire world to him - even if he doesnt always show it 😊

Sorry but that woman in Harrow should be ashamed of herself leaving that toilet so dirty. How unhygienic for her kids. Perhaps if she tried tidying and cleaning up each night she would get more sympathy for the other bad conditions. Many of the older generations lived in really bad conditions but the mother/parents ensured the rooms were kept clean and tidy. I wonder if everything was done workwise on the flat, just how long before it was in a dirty state again? She owes £9,000 in rent and also decides to remove wall mounted heaters, so it is more to her liking. No sympathy from me but perhaps her kids should be looked after by social services.
I agree 100%

Blackpool has gone the same way as most of our seaside towns sadly
That fuse from the Harrow house didn't walk away by itself. I don't believe that a landlord has any interest in taking it out. I think she or someone she hired tried to do DIY or possibly something to do with the electric meters a bit like the guy stealing electricity. I think she should pay for ripping off the radiators and for the hole in the wall. The landlord should take her to court for that. She deliberately sabotaged the property because she wants to be moved and in the process put herself and her poor children through hell. This is what people mean by saying "cutting off your nose to spite your face". She is reason why people do want tenants on benefits.
Absolutely that was tampered with to by pass the electric.

Rubbish these rogue landlords break dozens of laws and prey on vulnerable tenants. They are basically money laundering through properties as well as evading taxes and not obtaining proper licences.
It's not binary. There are bad landlords & bad tenants.
@@andrewjoseph149actually, most rented out homes (maybe not apartments) are rented out by *a* landlord, *not corporations* or landlords owning 10-20 homes. Like me, these small landlords rent out their personal home to be able to handle family matters, such as an aging parent in another city or state. Empty homes invite criminals, drug abusers, and squatters, so a renter in a home keeps them away. Best thing to do: get a property manager or be sure to do a background check looking for criminal or eviction activity. I love my renters, they do little repairs like tightening the screws on kitchen drawer handles, and cleaning the dryer vent all the way outside. I’ve been quick to replace old hot water heater installed in 1989, fixed leak in refrigerator water dispenser, and replaced 25-yr old air conditioner, and fixed a fence between the neighbor’s and my property to ensure big dogs can’t jump over. My intention is to reclaim my house when my parents pass, so having a long term renters is working out well for me.

Double glazing will not fix the condensation problems. Vents and education in how to manage her living space will. The tenant also has to meet the landlord halfway and not be keeping the windows shut 24/7, nor should they be drying clothes indoors unless there's a window open. Yes, the flat is in a bad state, however not all is down to the landlord. The tenant has to take responsibility. I see that there is/was a partner in the flat at some stage as there's photos of him visible in the footage. There's punch marks on the walls, damage to the rads and hot water suggesting that the relationship was volatile and/or controlling in some way. The tenant needs to be honest regarding the damage and the missing fuse to the hot water tank. Honesty can go a lot further towards getting things rectified and a life back on track than being aggressive and obstructive.
she admitted she took the radiators off the wall, total nightmare
You must be a landlord
why would the landlord not care about fixing his own window from rain on his own property for so long, because he gets easy govt money either way
@@Kerry-ft2zfand u must be a loser who does not pay his rent
@@drinkwater9891as you seem to be standing up for this bad tenant are you her or the father of her kids, who was not around during the filming? She needs to pay her rent and stop removing radiators, pulling tiles off the walls, punching big holes in the walls and clean the place up! No sympathy from me at all.
Ozzy is a legend and she is fantastic at her job!
Pity she can't control her mouth.🤨
Gemma reminds me of my husband NO GAG REFLUX 🤣 if he is next to someone that is throwing up he will throw up 🤮 too
I live in NZ and I rent. Most rentals here have an inspection every 3 months and we pay rent weekly, no chance for the property to get filthy or to be behind in rent.
Jbh666. We have had 5 flats ,same landlord. Never ever been to check the 5 flats in nearly 31 years!😳🙄
Mostly it's the same in Australia.
Really, they collect rent weekly instead of monthly? And inspect every three months? My landlord inspects once a year but I don’t think that’s very common in the US.
@@kellym.7113 yup
@@kellym.7113 yes, it's good bc it's harder to fall behind in payments that way.
It's not your house Charlotte,, another unmarried mum claiming benifits from taxpayers, we are paying Yr rent not you,
Exactly. I would've had more sympathy if she'd not been so abusive. Now I just feel for the landlord, he allowed her to stay despite owing £9000 and he gets abused like that...
Shut up plonker.
The rich don't pay taxes.
Stop paying your council tax, I didn't pay, ever, I'm 38.
There's no law for paying council tax, it's theft.
Use that brain inside your tiny head, muppet.
plonker ?? That word went out in the 1990s , speak properly!.
Whats being married got to do with anything?
@UnIimited_Power she was dreadfully rude to the landlord wasn't she?
The two ladies from Lobster Letting seem very compassionate. They are doing a lot of good in the world.
I'm so lucky to have a great housing association. Tenants must pay the bills and take absolute care of the property
The lady in the flat has not paid rent for months . She owes 9000 pounds she has ripped the landlord off. Why should landlord pay for repairs when no rent coming from tenants. Tenant could of paid for everything to be done out off rent she has not paid to landlord . She needs to move out because she's not happy there and never will be .she has just played the victim when she's not.
What gets me is she owes £9 k but where is the dad of the kids I bet he is in jail
She said she was on benefits. So what has she done with all the housing benefit paid to her. She needs to stop breeding and get a job. The father of those children needs to support his children not the working taxpayers.
It’s not her house. Talk about no manners
Surely the 9 thousand pounds she hasn't paid in rent would easily pay for another 1/2 decent place to live.
Surely a grown gross man who prob lives in a nice house should have more decency than to be renting out a 💩 hole like that to a woman with kids. Am guessing from yr comment u are a scumbag landlord
Didnt bother to claim it
The money she did not spend on rent, could be used for wallpaper. That’s not the landlord’s problem.
The girl isn’t a victim, but she made bad decisions in life.
Probably spent it on herself already.
27:47 get out of "my" house?? 💀 girl, it's not even your house and better yet you haven't even paid for it! Pfffft... 😂
ah, that young lady with the children - I've met her type too many times in my job and they all try to play the system. She needs to pay her rent and all her arrears too!
My ? is this. What has she done with all the money that the state has given her to pay for the rent that she has not paid ? Something fishy there don't ya fink ?
I personally have ZERO compassion for her
@@bambinaforever1402nor me. Stop having kids if the dad is not staying around and pay the rent that the government gives her to the landlord.
I have mine paid straight to the Landlord .but I know many people that move in and get the payments redirected to their bank account and the poor landlord doesn't get rent for 18 months
Wasn't claimed
@@drinkwater9891the council DO NOT pay it directly to the landlord you troll, how would he be in 9k debt if that was the case? Smfh
That women from Harrow took the radiator off the wall and she wired it up in another room, so it would look like she fiddled with the electrics. So yes she did put her children’s life’s in danger, she lives in filth that toilet was disgusting, she is also a thief thinking she can get away without paying rent. I would serve her an eviction notice.
I’d rather have my house empty than putting renters is…this puts me off
I think she did some of that damage herself. She looks a right hardcase.
Blackpool is crackhead city.
people like charlotte are whats wrong with the UK. she is a professional victim and has her hand out permanently.
i am glad that i no longer live in the UK.
And we are glad you are not aswell, female bigot
I live in NZ, i lived in a rental for 6 years and no maintenance was done. Ever. I shouldve been louder!
The new tenenat has left, after only 5 months . Agent promised things would be repaired before new tenant as i felt guilty if someone moved into such a unmaintained rotten house. Not even a lick of paint. Spouting rotted out, garage leaks and caught an electrical fire. An absolute abundance of issues, that were never rectified over my years there. I didnt even have smoke alarms for 12 month's of begging for them to be installed. Only reason i got them , was because i made a formal complaint and tenancy said i could take them to court. I left the property in a better condition then i moved in, and got a huge thanks from the cheeky slum lords for it and my "loyalty". I had every right to take them to tenancy, but didnt. The neighbors also made multiple complaints due to illegal plumbing on the property and were disgusted in how rotted the house was and nothing ever been done. There are bad landlords and there are bad tenant's. A house should never be in such condition regardless
Now she can pay her 9 thousand pounds she owes him
Plenty of trash like this in the U.S. too! Squatters, people stealing houses, moving into empty apartments hoarded out homes. Disgusting
Charlotte clearly has done a lot of the damage. I bet it wasn’t like that when she moved in. Give her her wish. Kick her out then fix it.
I do not understand one thing - that woman who rents and does not pay because prostitutes having sex on the block blah blah blah - first of all how is that a fault of the landlord, second - WHY DID U RENT IT ????? And third - u re RENTING IT, so u do not like something YOU LEAVE. Duh. Or the problem is she does not want to pay rent????
It's a council property, it was the free housing she was assigned. You can't really pick and choose with council housing. However, if the property is condemned, she can be assigned a new house.
When the bailiff comes around or threatens to come around , that is so scary and frightening. You are one step away or going to be Homeless. It nearly happened to My Cousin. He pleaded his case, he promised to get the money and on a wing and a prayer he did. He now pays half of his rent every two weeks which was something he should have done from the get go. He's terrible with financial management and he knows it.
It is scary, but when you pay them, then they will go away, and they won't harass you anymore. You paid them.
she needs to be kicked out
and he needs to be banned from being a landlord and then prosecuted
@@drinkwater9891and of course you believe everything this woman in Harrow says. Do we have proof that someone outside broke the window? Maybe she even got someone she knows to do it. I also suspect she pulled off the wall tiles as she even confessed to taking down the wall mounted heaters. Oh and let’s forget the fact she owes £9,000.00 in rent. She no doubt gets government money so why isn’t she paying her rent? Only people who would act like her will agree with her attitude, in my opinion.
She also needs to get some house cleaning done. That toilet is disgusting and you cannot blame the landlord for the disgusting state of it. And as the holes in the walls were done from the inside, did the landlord do that too? You seem so gullible 🙄
@@drinkwater9891 and then she needs to learn what disinfectant and a j cloth is.
@@AcausalMonolith whether you need to learn manners or she needs to employ a cleaner has nothing to do with the dodgy landlord not fixing his own property and still expecting rent from the taxpayer
@@drinkwater9891well seems she is also quick enough to expect rent money from the taxpayers. The many months she has not paid the rent, wonder what she has done with that money? Probably at least over 9k in her bank account or now spent on stuff! Landlord and tenant are as bad as each other.
Charlotte is behind on her rent, how is this fair to the landlord? If she would pay her rent, and quit making excuses, he would be more obliged to keep up her apartment.
She is a terrible mother who put her child in danger, You can't blame a landlord for not doing repairs if you wont let them in to do the repairs! What did she think was going to happen, for a repair man to do the work by talking to the problem through the front door.
I hope the landlord did the repairs and then evicted professional victim Charlotte
I have little sympathy for Charlotte. Nobody asked her to have 2 kids with no father around. Most of the damage I can see are things that she or the kids or visitors did. It looks like she took the fuse out herself so as to be able to turn on the tap and claim "look, I have no hot water". She won't pay rent and is behind to such an extent she will never be able to catch up. The landlord should evict her. I suspect it's what she wants, in order to get a nice council place. Those fatherless children are great leverage for getting the council to house you , and so you don't have to work and pay rent.
I just saw the clip of the baby lying on the bed @31.57 I suppose her filthy, mingin' sheets and pillowcases are the landlord's fault too.
Landlords have been selling up and getting out of the rental sector. There just isnt enough homes to rent. Very hard to find a home to rent.
I hope Angela Rayner sees this, she wants to make it even harder ti evicted tenets like this.
Why does she need a repayment plan for the rent she hasn't paid? Has the benefits office been paying for her rent? If she chose not to pay because of repairs, she could have put that money by. The fact that she doesn't have the back rent, means she spent it. So the taxpayers will pay for the arrears as well as the original rent benefit she spent.
This is disgusting, no way l would live like that, in New Zealand we have laws with that,no mucking around,sad as people do that
What a sad f×@$in excuse for a landlord.....I understand trying to save money when and where you can....but literally putting that rotten wooden window back in is too much.....he should really seriously be ashamed of his self. He doesn't need to be a landlord at all....he should be banned. I guarentee his house isn't in that shape
That woman is selfish, as soon as she got hot water she thought about getting in herself with a drink instead of letting her kids have a bubble bath or just sit and play in the water, also too lazy to get dressed when she knows men are coming over.
That Lazy song from 2002 is her song!
Can you not see the fear and anxiety running through her? It is all over her face. That place is a dump AND it is in a drug infested area where she is scared to go outside. She is just a young woman with 2 little ones depending on her for everything and she needs a break! You can't tell me the landlord doesn't have a key to that unit. He could have entered to make repairs at any time, with notice. There is no requirement that the tenant be there while repairs are made and it should have been done 8 months ago.
Being 9k behind in rent doesn't force you to leave your place in dirt. The house is not clean and the landlord has nothing to do with it....
Serving papers to the landlord won’t help if she refuses to let him in, she already kicked him out on video, if she let him in and immediately kicked him out I’m sure she’s done it before
I hated being a landlord. Feel sorry for these property owners who have to deal with people who don't pay their rent.
if you cant respect your own property enought o put smoke aarms or fix a broken window then its perfectly within any sane tenants rights to withold payment until its fixed and it shouldnt require a tv crew and the council or the courts to force you to to the basics. people who cant even tie their shoelaces should never become landlords, so many dodgy landlords in this country. slumlords usually of the baby boomer generations with multiple houses they were given cheap by the govt decades ago so they dont respect their excess properties like their own home
It’s six and half a dozen, there are as many bad landlords as tenants, we were in a situation where I paid the rent on time, maintained the place well but ended up being turfed out with a months notice as we didn’t get on with the neighbours who’s son played loud music all night, but who’s mum was best friends with the landlord. If it wasn’t for the council we’d have been homeless with two babies. And I earn good money, so this isn’t just a problem for the poor
why would the landlord not care about fixing his own window from rain on his own property for so long, because he gets easy govt money either way
@@drinkwater9891 Good luck getting the check.
@@drackkor725 very very very few tenants withold rent for fear of being evicted and then back on the waiting list so most govt landlords get away with all sorts
My last place was a shit hole when I moved in. It got worse by the time I moved out. I thought to myself I’m not gonna polish a turd for a twat.
Them single momas always seem to think they are so entitled. Next time maybe think before you spread your leggs.
How about men think twice before getting the sausage out and producing sperm to make a baby takes two!
Or put a cap on child benefits i live in The US child support comes from the other parent
And we don't have all the benefits UK has , yes it's nice but when it's so obvious people take advantage of it
sometimes there are bigger issues going on than just spreading legs.
@@unnamedchannel1237 Nah, that's the issue.
Letting random guys nut inside you.
Like what. Immaculate conception
I have no sympathy for any of these tenants.
agreed
Same here
Agreed! It's always someone else's fault
Some people are disgusting. It does not cost so much money to clean. That lady has newborn she can't afford to raise at her age.... She is not clean and she put her kids health at risk, they end up to hospital.... Fed up of people having multiple kids without thinking.
The worst thing to do is stop paying the rent. It gives the landlords more power if they decide to go to the courts. I don't really understand the reason they are being defensive. If the conditions are that bad then look elsewhere. A landlord I knew from Blackpool, there are tenants that more in and they leave a trail of unpaid rent until eventually they end up in bad accommodation. I have seen it, they may pay the first two months rent and then pay nothing and aswel in utilities. It leaves problems for the nexts tenants. It don't justify not paying the rent.
Always pay the rent no matter what the circumstances!
@@joannesaltfleet2071 How the situation is. Once the rent is missed then its two months in arrears. I don't think some people grasp that concept. Its never going to be good playing catch up. That is how it works and that is what speeds the courts up in eviction. They don't have that time.
@@christopherwinstanley1348 What NO ONE on this benighted page understands is that not paying the rent to the landlord, at least in the US, is a right and way to deal with a landlord not fixing certain things or breaking the Warranty of Habitability. the part people are too ill-informed or too lazy to discover is that you must use pay the rent to the court using rent escrow. The renter must first inform the landlord or leasing office that repairs are needed, IN WRITING. After that, the landlord has like 15-30 days (depending on the state you live in) to fix said issues. If not fixed, the tenant THEN asks for rent escrow in court and pays it that way. The court will decide who gets the rent. Maybe instead of people making such nasty ... I'm not even going to say it. Doing one's due diligence helps a lot.
@@kiastar67 It's very different in the UK 🇬🇧 and it's a different legal process. It's good advise here to pay the rent because the landlord has more grounds for eviction, plus it would go against some one in the courts for none payment of rent. Its like the tenant has broken the legal terms of their tenancy agreement. So, the tenant can be prosecuted. It may help anyone to understand the video. There is more regulation here, and they can come down heavy on the landlord. It will be things on health, structural, sanitation, health and safety, electricity and gas. The properties have to be rated for environment and energy... economic efficiency and if there are any underlying issues they are supposed to tell the tenant prior to the agreement and its inventory. That is how an above board landlord should operate. How claim court are different to the 🇺🇸 US. The tenant here don't have any real ground for possession but its harder and costly to evict someone for no apparent reason. Thanks for replying and enlightening me on the US 🇺🇸 ☺☺
In some places the eletric comp can come after the owner of the property for stolen eletric & they dont estimate on the cheap. Seen it with illegal grow houses where they rent the house & throw up grow lights fans heaters water pumps & eletric comp comes in with bills starting at 10 grand & up 😂so just cause u have a renter & agreement dosnt mean u r protected.
Why cover their faces? These people should be fully exposed, they deserve nothing but to be ashamed.
43:17 these council officials must not trust the landlord in this case - they must keep pushing, with weekly property inspections to maintain standards, as rigid enforcement of the rules is the only solution
Nil shame from Charlotte who chose a father who refuses to be in a traditional relationship with her. She will probably have more kids with this or another man, and still not insist he marries or moves in with her.
3:13 'It's John from JJ Propertiesssss'
The way he says that cracks me up lol
"If you could put a good word in?" OMG.
Why keep showing Charlotte's dirty toilet 🙄🙄 like twice
is that the landlords fault too
@@elizabethforsyth3054 yes it is he only did the work cos he was exposed. But she could have cleaned her toilet, I see the seat is broken which is probably why they filmed it but still....
Omg a toilet seat costs £20 just buy your own new one. If you can pay monies to doll yourself up you can pay for toilet seat.
😅
i know a few people like that first guy. they blame everyone but themselves and expect the government to take care of them
2:15 ‘….electrical gas meter to get free electricity..’ - it is IMPOSSIBLE to get electricity from a GAS METER - it only measures GAS !
Oh, she is such a victim, but she expects to live rent free and still get repairs. She is basically a squatter.
I hope she reads these comments. She is a disgrace.
20:25… I’m sorry but no person either kids would have accepted that flat with punch holes in the walls covered up either masking tape, nor would a landlord rent it out in that condition.. therefore, the punch holes in the walls are from that woman’s tenancy
This Charlotte why not clean the house. We see its the pits but c'mon you can clean it
Great that there is those mediators to intervene when problems arise.
