you do have to pay teh rent eventualy though which personaly i think is wrong , if a landlord is been awkward it should hurt him financialy
send a letter stating you want teh repairs doing within 24 hours or the rent stops until it is fixed , if it was somthing minor i would say a week but heating is vital in this weather especialy with kids

Yeh can do that but the landlord is shifty enough to auction the house off than to put a new boiler in!! Its not easy to stay in a property with an eviction hanging over u with kiddies in tow is what he is saying, no heating/hot water is bad enough, these companies are arsewipes with the law loopholes protecting them rather than the tennant!
I know someone who has got a notice to quit cos the landlord has given the property to his son to live in, its such a uncertain way of living is private renting unlike councils & HA's whom are bounded by rules & regs, & following potocol that protects the tennant as well as the HA/council.
