Having read the headline perhaps Cameron can reflect on Christian values of faith, hope and charity and look to his conscience for guidance concerning the more unfortunate people both at home and abroad! Where is kindness, support and understanding in government policy? Is it really Christian to see people in poverty, the NHS a shambles whilst our leaders are revelling in their million £ homes and tasting all the good things life has to offer. Perhaps he thinks that charity begins in his home and doesn't extend further than his circle mates.

Anyway, my Christmas message is to help and support all those who are less well off than ourselves in whatever small way we can. Happy Christmas all and please forgive the grouch. (I'm an aetheist (spelling has deserted me on this Christmas eve) - I must be getting older!)

There are laws/regulations about keeping the outside of buildings in reasonable repair I believe. A friend of mine was living in a flat above a shop and wallpaper was falling off the wall, water pouring from gutters into street etc. She reported them and moved out. But I think it mainly refers to external things - like the broken guttering? But the building could be structurally sound and weatherproof and still not fit for human habitation.

Exactly Eloethan As a small business we are regularly inspected by various authorities. We also have up to date H&S policies, fire certificates, boiler services etc. In essence we have to ensure that we provide a warm, safe working environment for our employees.

Why should being a landlord be any different?
