WARNING!!! wish i could give no stars

WARNING This is a long read but i don’t want anyone to have to go through this landlord. DO NOT rent from Housmart/Mr Singh !! We rented from him last year and what a shit show it was so i just want to make others wary when looking for a house this year/ at all. mice were a big issue, when moving into the house, my room in particular stank of mouse piss and gave me a rash, Rat poison in a dog poo bag was left on our kitchen table and we had to store all of our cupboard food in sealed boxes and yet we were still blamed for the mice (we found mouse traps from before our tenancy started) After multiple unreasonable disagreements, we requested for our conversations with the landlord to be in writing in order for us to have what he was saying on record, despite this, he continued to harass us with phone calls and unannounced visits at the door (landlords must give 24 hours notice of attending the property). One of these visits was to collect our old keys and turned into him giving me a racist story and when we moved in he proudly told the lead tenant about a racism allegation he received from a past tenant ( a reason in itself not to give your money to him really) He is overall just a massive scam and completely unprofessional. He spends the whole tenancy looking for problems and ways to make money from his tenants. He asked us to source a new set of garden furniture despite it coming to us broken, him refusing to tell us how old it is and admitting that it was second hand from his own garden. most of the house is constructed by himself and the furniture is hand me downs from his own home. stuff is falling apart and he will try and blame you for it at the end of your tenancy. Overall renting from this landlord will result in a very long deposit dispute* (which we won btw), a year of having to put up with his lies, misogyny, and patronising ways and you’ll be scared of all landlords forever x
