I do need to keep saying it, in case any of the brain-dead media are watching and maybe even listening . . . .
Each year the government will carry out up to 2000 inspections to check that properties are up to standard.
Steve Watson (Tenancy Services LL Compliance Team manager) will be rubbing his hands together with glee at the prospect of more, staff, a bigger dept., a promotion, a raise, etc.
Then, if Steve and his fellow Gestapo folks find that the heaters have not been turned on because tenants can't afford the electricity SOE dividends paid to the gummint, will the tenants be hauled before the TT for non-compliance with the temperature standard of 18 degrees Celsius?
Has any PT forumite seen the slightest reference to tenant compliance with the standards?
(From Dhil Twitford, Taxcindarella et al?)
