Some civilized countries have a process whereby partial rent can be legally withheld/deducted, incentivising them to fix it quickly. Less civilized countries require you to engage a lawyer and risk having your rental contract terminated unilaterally.
Racist countries (like Britain can very much be unfortunately) also don’t give a shit what a building full of immigrants want.
In my state (tenant laws are good here) we could withhold rent (ideally in a seperate bank account) until key things are fixed like an elevator.
Get a lawyer and organize rent withholding for the entire building. That’ll get them to fix the elevator right quick.
Second year in a row when farting during Holy month that we will be climbing this mountain! This is slow poisoning!!
Wat?
“Fasting.” Blackburn is a city that is 30% Muslim and this building is far more than 30% Muslim based on who I’ve seen in it. They’re complaining that they’re making people, including the elderly, climb up multiple flights of stairs while they fast. And I sympathize despite being an atheist with no Muslims in my family.
*fasting
Fasting (for Ramadan)
Not sure about “slow poisoning”
I think it was some poorly-worded hyperbole. A lot of the people here are not native English speakers, so I’m guessing they were trying to poetically say “you’re killing us!”
I thought “slow poisoning” said “sin posturing” and was very confused.
That’s what I got as well. I had so many questions.
