So, after escaping the frozen wastes of my last slum-i mean apartment-I'm now in a what I thought was a nicer place and have been beset by a plague of fleas for the last month.
Short of opening my own tiny circus, I'm getting molested daily despite having the place fumigated and sprayed, running EVERYTHING through the wash, bedding on an almost daily basis as well as jamming things that can't be washed in tiny freezer.
In short, it's royally doing my fucking clackers in, and although the landlord has been 'good' about it in the sense that he's paid for the pest control, he seems to be doubtful that there's much of an issue, whereas for us it's been a fucking nightmare and even sending pics of our many fleabites doesn't seem to inspire much sympathy.
Am I right in thinking that under these circumstances we shouldn't be paying full rent? I want to keep the guy on side and don't think he's a complete arsehole, but it's horrible being in a new home and feeling this way and the little bastards are showing no sign of dying off any time soon so we're thinking it might be best to just jump ship and find somewhere else. Not impress, very unhappy, so tired of endless washing.
