Poor standard of rental housing

stripey sox

Just wondering if people are having issues with the standard of their rental accommodation? we have been renting for past few yrs and have generally been happy. Had to move at end of summer however, and now feel like we are being ripped off. House is at top of market rate for our area this however is not reflected by its quality. There has been a bad smell in hse which we thought would air out but has not. Old bad quality wooden flooring downstairs which is lifting making it impossible to clean etc. Very poor furniture....had to buy new table as one here was so unstable. No clothes storage such as drawers etc. Carpets badly stained think this may be cause of musty smell. No appliances apart from fridge and washing machine. Garden littered with broken glass. Majors problems with draughts. These are just a few of our problems, making us as a family very unhappy in this hse. As mentioned we had to move as our previous house had been sold and so didn't have long to find alternative near kids school. We hope owner would b happy to have long term, decent tenants and would make improvements, obviously this has not materialized. landlords should understand that if they maintain house and it looks well they are more likely to keep good tenants. We Will unfortunately be moving again asap!!!!
