| Comment | This is definitely an issue in Glasgow which needs to be brought to light more. I was kicked out at 16, and rented. Disabled and living with mental illness. No working heating, fridge, washing machine, blinds broke, sewage wouldn't drain, mold, leaks, potentially rats/mice (would hear at night.) Electrical meter was broken and most of the sockets didnt work. Light switches gave what felt like mild electric shocks. It all looked perfect at the viewing.
Letting agency did fuck all. I couldn't afford to get half of it fixed, was not able to fix much of it myself. I called them over every issue, days in a row. Engineer they sent fucked the flooring, which they had the nerve to charge me for.
Handed in my notice and stayed at extended family's until i got a home again. If mental health is taking a toll, it's really not worth it. Make sure they are safe, warm, and if it's not looking possible to fix, I'd look into other accommodation. |
