I worry he thinks I’m a soft touch because I’m a lot older than his other tenants.
For the past two years I’ve had to bathe in cold, slow-running water because the shower doesn’t work properly.
And recently I’ve noticed mould growing on the walls.
I think it’s affecting my breathing.
I’ve written to my landlord countless times but he just ignores me or tells me to fix it myself. It’s making me really stressed.
