rodders Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Doesn't the Corpy organise a service annually for the boiler though? Surely Manx Gas told the Corpy that they had turned if off previously, so wouldn't be charging £££'s for a service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that boiler had been turned off years ago is particularly strange - either they knew it was empty or they were expecting a tenant to live without heat or hot water. Agree you’d think it would be a liability issue. If someone’s gas boiler hasn’t been serviced for 10 years the chances of it taking the whole street out would be quite high I’d have thought. You’d think their public liability insurers would insist annual inspections / certifications take place. As a private landlord you have to get a certificate for the boiler every year. Either way she’s deprived a family of social housing for 10 years. Despicable scrounging on top of benefit theft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gas was turned off in October 2016. The case was heard in January 2019. It will have taken the best part of 9 months to get from interview to charge. It may have been the gas disconnection being notified that drew it to attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Reads to me of a total dereliction of tenant/property supervision by the Corpy. Which, in light of the fact that they're responsible for a ratepayer funded asset is yet another fail. But the Corpy is not alone in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Isn’t this just a further reason for all housing to come under one umbrella and out of the hands of the incapable and inept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushen Spy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I think she should just be let off as a good will gesture and not have to backpay it but just change the payments from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Mental Asylum" is not a thing anymore. You're thinking of the 80's. "I'm mental" is not the carte blanche you think it is. I'm guessing you're just knee jerking out of habit.
