Shower broken held on by a zip tie. Radiator in bedroom not working. Oven doesnt heat up and unsightly pile of bins in corner. patio a mess. Mould on windows upstairs and stain on bed. Paint peeling off ceiling. Key jammed in lock for main door to accommodation. No light in the steep stairs. This property needs urgent attention and should not be habited until attended.
