Dad whose partner caught pneumonia and died sues landlord for £400,000 for leaving house without heating or hot water
A DAD whose partner died of pneumonia has SUED his landlord for £400,000 for leaving their mouldy "iceberg" house without hot water.
She left behind her four devastated young children and her partner, who is now suing their former landlord Ali Bolat, who he blames for her death. Central London County Court heard this week that the couple moved into the house in Enfield in 2014 and claimed to almost immediately have problems.When the couple contacted Mr Bolat to deal with the boiler issues, he carried out "amateurish" repairs of his own, which failed, causing them to lose the heating again.
On one occasion, rain had poured into the house, leaving puddles next to plug switches, he continued.Kelly fell ill before Christmas 2015 and was admitted to hospital, but she discharged herself and was back with her family for the holiday. When he eventually had it inspected by tradesmen, "numerous issues" were identified and it was replaced in January 2016.
"Whilst repairs to the hot water and central heating system boiler were required, these were carried out within a reasonable period of time and therefore the defendant is not in breach of his obligations."
