I've been renting a house for the past 7 years. When I moved in there was a small crack in the kitchen over the years it's got bigger alot bigger recently I even have rain water drip through the ceiling. The landlord has known about this for years and has chosen to do nothing. He came out in January and said for the first time he would get it sorted I've heard absolutely nothing despite chasing him several times. It's got to the point I am concerned is this even safe anymore? I have a child that lives here. The joke is that they have actually put the rent up last month but the house looks like this. I feel stuck because rent prices are so high I can't afford to rent elsewhere because this is still cheap compared to rent in my area. I have called environmental health they should be coming to do a visit soon. Any advice would be appreciated I am very concerned. Crack measures 25mm. One picture shows where you can see actual daylight through the crack
