UK 's worst Landlord

The Octavia Hill Residents Association has been fighting our unsocial Landlords GraingerGeninvest and their unsocial management company Pathmead for many months over our inherited 2nd succession rights.

We have now been advised that our residents do have a legal right to 2nd succession but this has been soured by the absolutely disgraceful and unwarranted rent increase demands made .

The 2 residents concerned were both born and lived for 50 years on the Octavia Hill Estate and have no wish to live any where else but most likely will be forced to leave their properties by this heavy handed action by Grainger and Pathmead.

One has had his rent increased by 115% and the other by nearly 200% and this at a time when wage increases are frozen .

Both properties suffer from sever damp problems and are in need of modernisation and  certainly it would be difficult to let at Market Rent , which is what this wicked Landlord is asking.The sole purpose of asking this huge increase is to force the tenant to move so that they can sell the property

One of the residents has been without any form of heating since 18th June 2010 due to mishandling of a repair by Pathmeads and their contractors.Yes, hard to believe that this resident was without heating during the coldest November and December on record.

Can you believe that Pathmead's holding company Genesis are applying for Charity Status, Pathmeads do not have idea of what Charity is and use underhand and big brother tactics to impose unjustified rent inceases.

The Church Commissioners have a lot to answer for in the promises that they made to Tenants when they told us they were selling to one of the countries biggest social Landlords and that our tenancies would be protected.

A very bad choice which has resulted in us being stuck with UK's worst Landlord and  Management company.
