Paint..
According to the decorators that our Landlords in Leeds sent round... (Avtar Properties anyone?)

If you paint over a leak with oil based paint, it fixes the leak. Voila.


I didn't believe him.

I rented a flat from them in 96/97
On Kelso Road (no 22, if you must know) - top floof of a terraced house. Firstly they had left the Velux window upside down for a month, so I had to hoover the water off of the carpet where it had rained in the bedroom, then they tried to charge me for a washing machine being plumbed in, when *I* plumbed it in with my dad (CORGI registered, so no arguments), then finally they tried to charge me for a new carpet in the kitchen which had, admittedly had a frying sausage dropped on it by my flatmate. The dropped that one when I pointed out the only reason the fridgefreezer wasn't in the bath of the flat downstairs was because they had STAPLED THE ROTTEN CARPET DOWN AROUND THE HOLE IN THE FLOOR THEY WERE HIDING WITH THE FRIDGE-FREEZER*. Twats.

Mr Parmar, who I rented a house in Norwood Road (LS6) from was much better - when we complained about the slugs on the lounge carpet he said "all houses have that" and took us to his house to prove it...whaddaya know, all houses [i]did[/i] have slugs...well, all his houses, at least. Bless.

... however
if your flat gets robbed, (this is a true story) just mention that it's been robbed to your landlord and the likelihood is that your stolen objects will 'reappear' in a matter of weeks.
