That inspection sticker has the wrong date on it.
It's the second timeI don't think you could get GET rcbos. I think that's the first time I've written get get.
I think the landlord would find himself with a much larger problem than rogue traders etc
They just say “I can't afford to do it” and obviously it can't be lived in because as you say it's dangerous, so I have no choice but to let you find other accommodation.Would they?
If they follow the proper procedure for eviction there's nothing the tenant can do about it.
I've seen it a couple of times when I used to do work for a local lettings agent. When tenants asked for reasonable repairs and the quote was a bit expensive it all went quiet for a few months and then I was back there testing the appliances in the empty property ready for the next tenant/victim to move in.

Pat test ?
I rent out 2 houses, never had appliances tested.
First thing I'd check is polarity. Has the meter installer reversed the polarity, either making it wrong now or making it right when it was wrong before? This is the only thing I can think of that could conceivably cause immediate RCD tripping after a meter change
Wouldn't cause tripping in itself, of course, but would, if there was a particular common, pre existing, serious fault..
Wow.
You really poured some sunshine on that.
Agreed, in fact in this part of the country rented properties are getting like gold dust and prospective tenants offering to pay 6 months rent in advance.It wasn't intended to be fun, it was intended to point out that tenants who annoy the landlord get evicted so people should think about the possible consequences before advising a tenant to start involving authorities.
A N-E fault could cause intermittent tripping, but reversing the polarity would give you a L-E fault, which would trip immediately on energisingAny idea what sort of fault would cause an RCD to trip with a polarity reversal ?
Earth to neutral one, of course. 2kohms neutral to earth may cause occasional nuisance tripping, but if that becomes live to earth, then the RCD is pretty much going to trip instantly.Any idea what sort of fault would cause an RCD to trip with a polarity reversal ?
