Hey people basically need some info on law regarding this situation, i live in a 7 bed student accommodation in Kingston.. last night quite a bit of plaster fell off the ceiling outside my room and down the stairs... What is the landlord legally have to do?

TBH what we want is the carpet professionally cleaned and a professional to come in and replaster the ceiling
 
he is coming over between 6-7, im just wondering what is our right.. so that what he says hes going to do and what we ask for/expect is well with in the law tbh
 
Also there was a leak at the point where it fell for a few days, he came round yesterday and fixed the issue.. personally i thought he had to bring a contractor in to do these problems?
 
whats the problem in seeing what i should expect?.. he is not going to see this thread and i had a look at the laws but seams a bit complicated to read through in less than an hour... im the kind of person that likes to know the outcome or possible outcomes before something happens
 
A h okay Von.. thanks for that, i shall just see what he says, but im def going to ask for certain areas cleaned cause we hoovered but theres plaster all soaked into the carpets
 
Man up? if you dont have anything constructive, we pay quite a fair bit the property.. big difference between having sick in the carpet and part of the 2nd floor ceiling falling down... I shall see what the landlord says
 
yeah when i meant professional cleaning.. more like giving us a carpet cleaner so that we can make it better than a blue carpet being brown tbh
 
I know man, wasnt saying you was trying to be offensive i just like to know my options before anything happens.. pet peeve if you will..I will post back in a bit =)
