Awful student accomodation

I'm more than annoyed with the company I rent my flat from; 'Unite'. Like it's not bad enough that we were expected to clean the flat ourselves when we moved in, not that I can blame them for being reluctant to clean the sick from under one of the desks one of the last tenants had left behind.

Then, in November my toilet started leaking. After about one month of complaints, promises that the plumber was on site and would be up before 3pm, and mopping up leaking toilet water two or three times a day, it was finally fixed.

Okay, so it was a few days after I was told it would be fixed, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. And before it could be fixed somebody had to come out to it to ''ensure there was a leak.'' Which is good, as I don't always recognise a flooding room when I see one. Now there's a leak in the bathroom next to mine. I wish my flatmate the best of luck with that, but I'm not holding my breath that it'll be fixed anytime soon.

The cherry on top though was the dead mouse in our living room; always a nice find first thing on a Sunday morning. To add insult to injury, somebody from Unite came up this morning to check we'd taken it down. Sadly this is considered a lightening quick reaction from Unite. Our flat is one of the cleanest ones in the block, so if our flat had a mouse in it I dread to think what state some of the other flats are in.
