Can you not take off your new electric shower and replace the old one back again then get them to sort it out ? At least you can take the new shower with you whenever.DavidEvans007 said:the agents are saying that we are in breach of contract because i should have contacted them and they would have got someone else in to fix it... at the moment im trying to get my £139 for the shower back off them and they are being pigs over paying it... so im going to throw the fact that the house was rented to us in an unsafe condition in front of them and if they dont pay up, Im going to take matters further...

GwaiLo said:I should end by pointing out that it is not a legal requirement for a property to comply with IEE 16 to be let. If homes had to comply with IEE 16 before people could safely live in them then we would have millions of homeless people. Most homes do not comply, even many fairly modern homes.

from Fire, dated August 2003
As FIRE went to press Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott announced in the Commons that "it is our intention to amend the Building Regulations to include a requirement on electrical safety in private dwellings to match those that currently exist in commercial, industrial and rented properties."
Introducing the change he asserted that it "would be beneficial to health and safety in reducing the number of deaths, injuries and fires caused by defective electrical installations in homes.We have come a long way since 1984, however we have a long road still to travel. For many years landlords and property owners have been forced to comply with the wiring regulations as set forth by the Institute of Electrical Engineers, it is now time for private home owners to also be made to comply with these regulations. It is our intention to consult with the relevent interested parties and have new legislation in place by October 2004"
