  many many moons ago when i first joined the council one of my first cases was a 16 year old girl with a baby in a bedsit with no facilities in it
  and hardly room to move around the bed
  the landlord charged a fortune, put an egg outside her room each day(which classed as a breakfast) which she never ate.
  
  he also was able to enter her room at any time.
  
  the fair rents panel had no teeth and a waste of time, so i had to take the landlord on.
  
  the landlord unusualy lived local, was friendly up to the point when in my friendly way i questioned some of his bedsits.
  
  he then starting threatening me at home and at work.
  
  of course im not one that wavers easily and did tell him i was at home/work but he never came i also promised him(after a lot of advice) that if he continued with the bedsits in the present form i wouldnt stop till i closed him.
  
  it was a long haul of talking to the landlord, talking to the council, lots of letters, lots of notices of improvement notices.
  but in the end the council moved in and done the business.
  he no longer was part of the set up.
  
  these bedsits no longer exist
