A family is facing eviction from their home after they say a catalogue of unresolved issues with their 'nightmare' flat has left them with no option but to withhold their rent. In desperation, the couple, who live in the accommodation with their three young children, made the rent refusal after they say serious problems with their home had not been fixed after two years.
Kate, 29, a full-time mum to her eight-year-old, one-year-old, and three-month-old sons, and her partner Jason, 49, a tattoo artist, say they moved to the one-bedroom flat in Tamworth Road, Long Eaton, for security reasons in February 2021. They told Nottinghamshire Live sister publication Derbyshire Live the issues with the property are so bad they can only wash at the children's grandparents' house.
The couple says there is a broken shower - forcing them to wash at Jason's parents' house - broken floorboards, and a heavy cupboard that fell from the kitchen wall, which Kate claims nearly seriously injured her and one of her children. The list of issues continued as the couple explained there was a broken heater as well as ill-fitted windows.
