A COUPLE'S flat is a pain in the grass because the communal garden has not been cut all year.
Angela Robinson, 53, said her and husband Raymond, 66, are “living in a slum” due to a “jungle” growing outside.
They pay a £10 a month on top of their rent with the other 11 tenants for the block's stairs and outdoor garden to be maintained.
But Angela said nettles are so big they are now reaching the windowsills of her ground floor flat in Edinburgh.
She said: "Nobody has been at all this year, I've phoned and I've phoned.
"It's a beautiful estate we stay in, our flats are for social renting and the rest of the estate is absolutely immaculate.
