A lettings agent has taken the unorthodox approach of advising tenants to take their landlords to court in a bid to improve conditions.
Ajay Jagota - who runs KIS lettings agency in the north of England - also runs an insurance and problem-chasing service called Veriwise, and he says: “Evidence suggests conditions in rented homes have nose-dived during Covid-19 – as demonstrated in recent reports by Channel 4 News and ITV – but it’s clear that across the country completely reasonable and legally necessary requests to landlords to improve living conditions in their properties are falling on deaf ears.
“…That problem is made much worse by the simple fact that so few renters know whose is responsible for repairing their property, and are left living with no heating, dangerous electrics, damp and mould, crumbling walls and even rats because their landlord won’t fix things – or even paying for it themselves.

Ajay spouting his anti-landlord drivel again. Who would use him as their age pit when he would be better employed at Generation Rent?
At least you could probably sue him for breach of contract if he supports any claim from your tenant while he is managing the property
Am I actually reading this correctly?
Is this for real?
How on earth did they expect landlords to maitain property during lockdown?
