Collapsed ceilings stories? Sure
Was renting a room in a flat share in a mansion block in Balham about 12yrs ago.
this place
Some building maintenance was going on, possibly replacing the roof tiles or similar. One evening I noticed a slight sag in the ceiling in my room. I called the landlord and went out to the pub.
Got a call from my flatmates 90mins later saying the whole ceiling had collapsed and my room looked like a building site. I spent a few weeks kipping in the lounge while things were sorted. Suffice to say the landlord didn't quibble too much over the deposit when it was time to move out.
