Some balance to the argument.....
I don't march out for a couple of weeks, so have that pleasure to come. However, in the last 12 months while living in quarters I have:
Paid £280 a month in rent (ignoring the council tax element) for a 3 bedroom house, the equivalent of which would cost at least £500-£650 in the private sector.
Mentioned a slight fault in the bath (to avoid march out complications) only to have a new one fitted within days.
Had a replacement cooker installed when the old one started to die.
Had an issue with a slow to drain sink outflow, only to have someone come round and rod it within about 3 hours. The date was 31 Jan!!
Had any issue I have had dealt with quickly, efficiently and to my satisfaction. With most private landlords it would have taken weeks.
Delayed my march out at short notice, only to find the system totally accommodating to my situation.
So far all the staff I have encountered have been helpful, courteous, and efficient. But good news stories aren't as entertaining/dramatic......
