He suffered dizziness and thought it was vertigo, until an engineer saved his life.

A mother continued to be felt dizzy and I thought I had vertigo. He took medication to control his poor health condition, which made his daily life difficult. But not a single doctor gave him a disclosure of the diagnosis but an engineer saved his life.

Debby Williamsfrom London (UK) he takes medicine to control his vertigo, because his father also suffers from a condition that can make you feel like everything is spinning in your head.

At the same time the presence of the woman problems with your boiler because he was old and often ill at his home in Havering, east of the English capital. And even at first glance Seems like two different problems, just the same.

Gas leakage in a boilerthe

Debbie said she found it difficult to fix her boiler because she lives in a Private Sector Landlords Council (PSL) house, which is a house rented by the local authority on behalf of its tenants as “temporary residence”.

So when he took British Gas to look into the problem, they found out the boiler had a dangerous gas leakreports MyLondon.

Gradually and slowly, it became his home carbon monoxide fillingwith all that was needed, a kind of slow and deadly poisoning.

“You’re lucky and you’re still alive,” she recalls as the engineer told her to go to her home and check the connections, while Debbie directly discussed the repair with the owner.

Conflicts, contracts and adjustments

Because these houses are considered “temporary dwellings”, British media reported that the council is reluctant to invest in a property if it has “short-term interaction” to him.

Debbie said she didn’t want the homeowner to replace the broken boiler unless she got a discount, even if it almost killed her.

When it learned of carbon monoxide poisoning, the British Gas company It immediately cut off service and left the woman without gas for months.

Thus, the endless conflict began between the woman, the owner and the council to get a unit that works in the best conditions.

“We haven’t had heat and hot water for three months. Now, thinking about it logically, I don’t really know how I manage it,” he explains about the problem.

And he completed: “It’s so cold. We fold quilts, pajamas, robes, everything you can think of just for try to keep warm. We’re all in the same bed. “

House with another roof problem

Despite the fact that they finally replaced the fireplace, Debbie has another problem at home: there is a hole in the roof that causes water to flow into the walls when it rains.

And this is not the only thing, because it ensures your windows as well enter the cold air and that spreading mold through the many rooms of the house, something that did not help his condition of suffering from asthma.

“We are always sick. The rooms are damp, I have to warm up the children’s clothes and myself before I can use them in bed, ”he continued, painting a dark picture of the situation.

The owner, the woman said, seemed indifferent to all the inconveniences of the property. when debbie sent him a video of water flowing on his walls during a storm, he claimed it was condensation caused by radiators.

He also argued that when council workers assessed essential repairs and mentioned the amount, the owner threatened to remove the property from the government’s temporary residence.

The landlord has no direct power to evict her, but the council house can be revoked at any time even if the woman has been present for eight years after her marriage.

What did the City Council say?

A Havering Town Council spokesman explained to British media: “We are working with the owner and Mrs Williams to ensure that important repairs are being carried out in this temporary residence.

“Ms. Williams has been able to bid on a permanent council property for several years and she is high on the list of offers. She has every chance of succeeding in moving into a council house.”

Debbie revealed that she has been fighting over properties every week for years, but has yet to succeed for a fit.
