I talk to my landlord via my agent. There have been several issues raised with regards to the showers not working, taps leaking, fridge not closing and more.

The agent will ask the landlord to fix them, then tell me the landlord has declined to fix them. I tell the agent I believe they should, but the landlord holds firm and refuses.

I contact Shelter, I wait on hold for 2 hours and give up.

I contact the council, each email takes weeks to get a reply on. They won't answer the phone.

I contact my local councilors, they show initial interest then stop replying.

Renting in London has me feeling totally trapped and mentally exhausted. I wish landlords like this, who have elite jobs in the city and multiple properties, were held accountable.

I pay rent on time and should be able to expect more. I am in England.
