It's opened my eyes as to the lack of laws. To eveict you they have to go through a court process which can take up to 6 weeks which is about the only protection you have. There is no law which says they have to provide heating and hot water. If as in my case the boiler has broke down the law says that they should make good the repair in a reasonable period. Apart from a 12 hour period last Friday night my boiler hasn't worked for nearly 2 weeks. In the middle of winter I would suggest that is not reasonable but there's naff all I can do about it.
