Read v Notting Hill Housing Trust (2013)
Bow County Court
The tenant had an assured shorthold tenancy of a two bedroom ground floor flat and paid £289 per week in rent. A few months after moving into the property the tenant informed the landlord that rats were getting into the property and also reported the matter to the Council Environmental Health Officer. The entrance was through holes in the floorboards. There was also rising damp at the property and a boiler which only produced hot water intermittently. The tenant was offered alternative accommodation about a year after reporting the rat problem. One of the tenant’s children had gone to stay with the grandmother because of the rat problem.
