A Note of caution to those calling for action...

Firstly if one is a regular occupant of SFA, one is NOT a tenant - instead the occupant has a 'license to occupy' and therefore the rights and obligations are different (considerably fewer 'rights') so before one stomps off to CAB, MP etc, check what one is 'entitled' to.

Secondly, are there any outstanding works requests with MHS? It would be most embarrassing to call for A Day of Rage just as a team of workers pitch up to rectify the problem...

Thirdly is this could attributable to an inherent fault in the property or a a result of poor ventilation/unvented clothes driers/long showers etc. In our own rental properties we had tenants complain of 'damp' yet the problem vanished when we moved into the properties ourselves and enured the ventilation fan was connected in the bathroom or a window was cracked open. And if it is thought that I am telling you how to suck eggs, most assuredly this is the response you will get!

Finally, complaining bitterly about this - posting on here, confronting clerks and housing officers and the like will only see the SP being hauled in front of the CoC - and ccounselled on his/her behaviour. Not saying that's right - just warning that it will happen. Edited to add that you will probably have the sympathy and support of the Stn. Cdr who can apply pressure, but doesn't own the problem. Don't jeopardize that support!

Just be careful what one asks for - and, yes, I do live in SFA!
