LOL, 6 blokes - sounds fun . (I think you might need Magik's advice)

I'm my second year out of halls. My first house wasn't too bad, apart from the bath leaked and fused the central heating control. This year has been a nightmare, a few examples; The cooker wasn't working when we moved in, and it took the landlord about 4 weeks to replace it. We didn't have a gas certificate when we moved in; what made it worse is the landlord tried to use the one from the previous year. We sent him a list of all the things that needed doing to his house or we had done, to make it liveable in - it was seven pages long. Needless to say, we don't get on with him very well. Moral of the story is; make sure you know that your landlord/lady is a money grabbing low life.

Talthyr - which part of Notts is your brother in? (I'm a student there too)
