If I moved into a property that has bed bugs and already had bed bugs before my arrival, but the landlord conveniently omitted to tell me so. Do I have any grounds to unwind the tenancy within 90 days ?
Based on the fact I would have never signed the tenancy contract if I would have known that information.
Hello guys, it’s a long story but I’ll try to make it short.
I’m based in England
I moved into an HMO property on 18th May 2026. The day after moving in I went for a trip and can be back 6 days later.
After sleeping at the property a few days I noticed I was getting bites regularly, I assumed it was mosquitoes and the weather was getting quite hot.
After further inspection I found out I have bed bugs, I have physically seen them and took pictures of them in various areas of the house. I also took pictures of the bites, as I seem to be reacting to the bites worse than normal. (Clusters,rashes)
I then proceeded to ask the other flatmates (6 in total) if they currently have or ever had issues with bedbugs and 3 of them confirmed that they do and it was an issue prior to me moving in. In other words, the house already had bed bugs and I didn’t bring them in
Upon further discussion I find out that one of the flatmates already mentioned the issue to the landlord well before I moved in, and the landlord has confirmed himself this fact.
I contacted the landlord about the issue on the 15 June 2026, and he immediately scheduled a pest control visit from the council.
The pest control officer came in on the 19th June 2026. They came into my room only (other flatmates weren’t home for the visit), checked only the bed quickly and didn’t find anything on the mattress itself but didn’t check anywhere else for bed bugs. Only my room was inspected even though the issue is in the whole house as I’ve seen them in other areas including the toilets (I have photo evidence of this).
Pest control sprayed my room and left, it’s been almost two weeks now and I’m still getting bites regularly from the bed bugs. And I still see them around the house
I’ve now been at the property for a month and a half and I’m kinda tired of getting bites and waiting for a solution with no end in sight.
We have another pest control visit on the 10th July but the landlord hasn’t told the other tenants to be home and hasn’t told the pest control that the issue is in the whole house and not just my room.
I gave a call to the landlord yesterday trying to explain that the issue is in the whole household, he claimed that there’s no proof of that and that we have to wait till the pest control makes that claim. He then hanged up the phone on me.
On top of this he keeps trying to claim he had no prior knowledge of the bed bugs even when he admitted he was notified of them months before by the other tenant. (I have a text from him confirming he was notified by another tenant)
Am I legally entitled to compensation?
Can I legally unwind the tenancy on the basis that the landlord has withheld information about a possible bed bug infestation?
Am I correct in stating the place is currently not habitable ?

Hello everyone, I need some urgent advice on my situation.
I was circumcised as an infant, I’m now an adult but I’m suffering with complications from the procedure.
The skin on my shaft is very tight, it causes a condition called “tenting”. Basically the skin at the base of my penis moves up because of the lack of skin available.
I also have hair growing along the shaft almost up to the glans. And of course I also have my balls moving up along my shaft making my penis look way shorter than what it is and making it difficult to wear condoms.
I’ve been reading information on this sub and started doing MM2 sporadically. I wanted some advice on solution to solve these 3 issues… possibly from other people who had similar complications.
What device should I get ? What exercise is best ?
