hi lads,

That’s what I see almost on a daily basis.
I would love to see that more often so that the standard will become higher.

I know it’s not always the fault of landlord but to be fair 90% yes !!!

Dodgy landlord is fined £404,000 after renting flat with this horrendous toilet | Metro News

Typical council house that, although they usually replace things when became vacant.

As if he will ever pay that fine.
Properties probably owned by a 'soon to be liquidated' company.

In fairness, and I say this as someone who believes that housing should be properly regulated, with a kind of MOT for every rented home, at least a part of the responsibility for those awful conditions lies with the tenants. Doesn't look like any cleaning has taken place in those homes recently. Not that they should be re-let in that state of filfth.

The article mentioned that the state of the place was so bad it could not be properly cleaned. I can imagine living under such conditions would also be very depressing and that's going to affect people's motivation to clean too. I guess they just gave up or didn't know their rights so just put up with it all.
