Me and my housemates were fed up of unoermus failures in the house. These included failure for a number of weeks to replace shelving in a bedroom that was very much needed for storage, but for an unknown reason had been removed. The promised free wireless internet took weeks to be installed and set up. The promised TV fitting took over a month to be installed. Desks missing from two bedrooms, that had been mysteriously removed like the shelving, took over a month to arrive.The problems have been dealt with by now but they wouldn’t have been if me and three other housemates hadn’t decided to take our own direct action of not paying our rent. After what became daily trips to the Lighthouse office on Carholme road, we made the decision to not pay the monthly sum of a3300 for a month. A letter concerning this was sent. So we went and asked them why they were able to send us letters asking for money so quickly when things weren’t fixed quickly. The issues were fixed very quickly when the office realised how annoyed we were waiting for unoermus things to be fixed.It is a shame that we had to resort to tactics like this to get things fixed because they should have managed this regardless. The people at the Lighthouse office were full of excuses and continually fobbed us off. The most common excuse was We are very busy at the moment . Well isn’t it their obligation to manage this?[]
