[UK] need advice with landlord and leaks
sorry if this is a little all over the place im stressed if theres getter subs for this please point me there
We’ve lived in this house close to 15 years, renting, and for as long as i can remember we have had repeated leaks from the bath into the front room, the house got sold while we were living in it and the new landlord is even worse, he sends plumbers and electricians who clearly have no idea what they’re doing and always give us botch jobs, and he increases the rent at every chance he has. We have my one year old sister in the house and its not fair on her, every time there’s a leak the electrics trip and we have no electric for 4-6 hours until the plug in the front room dries out, the ceiling has fallen through about 3 times and its likely going to happen again. today the flex pipe connected to the hot water tap seemingly burst, iv ran in and pulled the bath panel off to see what was leaking as my mum was panicking and iv been burnt by red hot water spraying out, all the electrics are gone, our couch is water damaged along with the hoover and im just not sure what we need to do, it seems like the landlord is just trying to wait it out until we give up and move but theres nowhere affordable for us to move, what do i do, who can i go to for advice and can anyone get us rehomed (housing standards?)
