I live on a residential estate run by a charitable group, being charitable myself I will use their own title.
They have been throwing government money at these properties for a while now but nothing makes a shed load of sense apart from the management taking kick backs.
Completely now kitchens and bathrooms where only a few worktops and tiles are needed for example.
The flat next to mine has had three completely new kitchens installed in the nearly eight years I have been here and the idiot rep say's, "We have a duty to re[place the kitchens and bathrooms ever few years". WTAF? I thought they had a duty of care to not throw money down the ceramic receptacle in the bathroom myself.
Lots of bullying in the past which I now resist like, "You have to let me in or I will evict you" after turning up with no appointment etc.
The actual LAW states that "As assured shorthold tenants you BUY your home by the month and have the absoluite right to live in and enjoy it in privacy. YOU the tenant decide who enters not a third party".
The landlords agency state that "You have no RIGHT to enter and must do so with the cooperation of the tenant so make things more agreeable by only attempting to enter WITH AN APPOINTMENT and the tenants agreement".
Anyhoo, they are putting solar panels on SOME of the roofs which I was told, "You have to let me take photographs of the interior of the flat and you have to let me in whenever I want. No photo's, no solar panels, you will save £500 per annum on energy cost's, is that worth something to you"?
There are two major issues on the technical front:-
No battery farm. How do they run a solar panel setup without this?
How do they allocate the energy produced to individual homes?
Seeing as the energy can only be sent into the main grid, how can they say we save anything?
I have spokent to other resident who have had the new windows installed, no saving in energy use and no improvement on the draughts that plague these properties.
I told the local police and they told me to deny access to my flat, the nonsense given is just that. Today another resident told me I have "Red flags" aginst me at haig and they are wanting me out. I feel a hardening of attitude coming on which might take some time to dissipate.
haig was set up as a charity for disabled veterans of WW1 with deiscounted rents lower than council rented homes for those who qualify. my elderly neighbour does not get the discount despite being an ex WRAF officer. The landlord say's, "Oh but that was soooo long ago".
Sorry, chewing nails and spitting rust now.
With the last rent increase, we were told the discount might not be affordable in future, no doubt helped by their profligacy.
