Unprofessional
Moved into flat then noticed mold on walls, they obviously tried wiping it away, after a while I noticed windows had tiny holes in them, Bath tub fell apart, the side was glued together. I refused to pay rent unless they sorted it, nothing was repaired and I left then they bill me 8k for rent arrears and repairs, I went back to flat and found they refitted the kitchen and bathroom, obviously passed the costs to me but luckily I didn't have to pay the 8k due to a debt relief order. Better social housing associations out there.
