Oh Eileen54 I feel heartbroken for you. This must be a mega worry for you. Can't understand why Housing can't do anything, the water from the property above is affecting your flat. Is it Council or private landlord. You need help immediately, could you contact CAB or something similar for help. I know it's not much help but you can chat to me.

Hi @eileen54, sorry to hear of your housing troubles. But hopefully this will be a matter that can be resolved relatively quickly, and in the long-term your new house will be an improvement on the last. @Debbie_Scope , do you have any advice? As @castleford1 points out, your local Citizen's Advice branch should be able to offer some advice, and you can find your closest one here.

Hi @eileen54,
How are you? Have you now moved? Have things improved with your housing situation?
@Debbie_Scope is back on the community, and able to answer a couple of questions each day, so if there's anything we can help with, please let us know.
