  Lesley, I appreciate and know that there are good and bad landlords and good and bad tenants - I've experienced both types of tenant in the flat I rent out.
  
  The house in Clarendon mentioned where the maggots are coming out of holes in the ground are outside the basement front door; nothing to do with the tenant and their cleanliness at all.
  
  The concrete laid, is very thin and broken with holes and these holes are where the maggots come through. I think the sewer must have a broken (salt-glazed) pipe and perhaps this is where the dead rats etc. are and where the smell (and maggots) is emanating from.
  
  The whole area needs digging up, the sewer pipe repaired (if it is broken) and a thicker level of hard-core laid down before cementing again.
  
  I have nothing against landlords, nothing at all; I do have a problem with the old Rachman type of landlord though, who are totally unscrupulous.
  
  
  
  
  Roger
