Re: I think my landlord is legitimately a headcase

There's heating (radiators), but she did't turn it on.

Or maybe she did but for such short periods, at such a low temperature it had no effect. I mean the seeing my breath isn't an exaggeration - at the coldest I could literally see the condensation in the air whilst sitting in my chair.

And it wasn't a party or any previous noise complaints. We haven't had a single one. I mean she knocked on my door at 02:05 to complain about dishes having been left unwashed (they weren't even my fucking dishes!) and at a later point almost exactly at the same time about lights having been left on (I was up and sorting something out in my room for five minutes but she had no way of knowing that).

If you haven't already, I'd say now is definitely the time to check into books and online resources spelling out tenants' rights in your locality, and check your District Council's website (or whatever your closest unit of local government is) to see if they have an office in charge of rental housing standards or tenants' rights. Intuitively, I'd guess that most if not all of your landlord's behavior is unprofessional and probably illegal--under US landlord-tenant law, it sure would be--but you never know where there are loopholes in the law that someone can exploit, so it's good to know the exact extent of your rights.

In the US, this book is sort of the Bible of tenants' rights:

I don't know if there's something comparable for the UK, but you'd think there would be.

Good luck.
