Thanks for the advice .The correct and proffesional way to go on this is to find the facts - hear from both parties and hopefully come to the right decsion - SRH never want bad press because their star rating is so important to them. Hopefully some disaplinary ction or dismissal will solve the problem and stop it happenig again. You should ask them to let u know the outcome of any investiagtion.
I would request that all information provieded to you is done so in writing - simialry if you have anything to add to an ongoing enquiry you shoudl put it in writing.
Asking for rent reduction is never going to work you pay rent for your house - some one behaving ;like a perv is not goign to change the agreement between you and SRH you pay money to them to rent you house.
Always document evidence with a report to add to the complaint
I'd take someone with me, if I were you.The woman from HR told me that he hasn't been suspended and he is continuing his usual work, there's a good chance I will see him when he's in my area sometime soon.
Sounds like I'm going to be the one being interrogated on Monday
My comment about them being shit was more about their complete lack of fux given for the wellbeing of their tenants. My old flat has been knocked down, I moved out about 6 years ago thanks to being put in a higher band because I got a letter from my GP stating the obvious that living in a damp, mouldy flat with water literally running down the walls was farking with my head. They blamed me for not being able to heat my flat enough and told me to have the windows open a bit in winter.I don’t think SRH are completely shit if you compare the quality of their housing stock to housing in Stoke and Cannock who still have council housing. SRH housing has good quality housing at affordable rents.
Lol I had a massive damp problem in my kids room a couple of years ago. My son ended up with pneumonia twice in six months , having to be hospitalised. I had to throw all the furniture away because it was so damp , it was falling apart, and remove the carpets because they were so damp and moldy.
We now have keep loads of damp traps around the room and keep the exterior walls (2 of) free of any furniture. I never replaced the carpets and instead chose to paint to floorboards and and stick with a large area rug for better ventilation. Seems to working, I have to replace to damp traps every few weeks.
Sarh originally told me to leave to windows open day and night , but seriously who's gonna keep the windows open when it's freezing cold outside , especially with young kids/ .
I had my interview with sarh about the creepy guy on Monday ... now it's just a very long waiting game !
I wasn't really blaming sarh .i say it was more to do with the build. That corner of the room takes the brunt of all the bad weather as it quite exposed. I was just saying how I've helped with my damp problem without having to leave windows open all the timeTo be fair this isn't always a sign of poor maintenance or neglect. I own my own house but my daughters north facing bedroom has a constant issue with condensation in the winter despite the house being centrally heated and well maintained The black mold on the external facing wall was awful and we couldn't put anything on that wall or it got ruined. Eventually I had to have the plaster removed and insulated plasterboard installed and this has cured the problem on the wall, but her window still runs with moisture from aound this time of year until spring. It would be a bit harsh to blame SARH for this no matter how unpleasant it is to live in. they need to sort creepy guy though

They brought my statement for me to sign , that's it . I won't hear off them again now until they have finished investigating . Even then I've been told there's not a lot they can tell me
Dislike.*Final update*
Obviously the surveyor is still working for sarh
