All of the above is good in theory but unhelpful in reality.

We contatcted the appropriate authorities and all that has happened is they told them to secure my deposit straight away( even though it was 3 years late) and told her to produce gas certificates, which she went to one of her friends and got back dated ones. Now I've been served with a section 21 for questioning her actions and have to find somewhere else to live. The way it looks to me is as long as a landlord acts when you shop them, they can get away with whatever they want.

How can it be your fault the damp is coming through the walls? I suggest you contact your local councils housing officer or the citizens advice office asap so they can advise the best way forward.

I also note that when the tax man is involved there's a hefty jail sentence! I note from your examples so many of these could have been avoided, but they failed to comply with improvement notices.
