Well Mr Tony King the first thing you should do is change your name…to Joe (JOKING GEDDIT ) Its ” landlords ” like you that get people like me a bad name.

You have failed bigtime in your duty of care to this Tenant YOU failed to alert him to the probelm, a problem that should have been sorted by you proir to the AST starting, you cleaned and decorated did you think about an airbrick or venting the windows.

It would seem you want to make a fast Buck and Bugger the poor Tenant ,I hope that he reports you to your local Authority and sues you in the Small Court.

In the meantime give up playing at being a Landlord its for us Big-Boys stick to Prize Bingo instead….MORON!!!!

Have you thought about secondary glazing. I had some in one of my flats and it was great, and it’s much cheaper than double glazing.

Whilst I agree that lifestyle is the general cause of much condensation, that is not the situation in this case – the landlord disguised the condition, having been fully aware of the history of condensation.
There are various things installations that can help – in the North West, we have links with Condensation Cured who offer a permanent solution. I would also say – a de-humidifier can offer some respite and help with a drying out process if measures are installed, but this should be the landlord’s expense, not the tenants – glad to say the landlords I work with would not hesitate to provide one, at least temporarily. Perhaps as well this property has been sold!

Envirovent aren’t the only company that do PIV systems, try Able Air http://www.ableair.co.uk same systems and a fraction of the cost of an Envirovent installation.
