I'm baffled why tenants don't just leave bad places or use their own money for stuff like this. By putting up with it, the landlord is not forced to change, or fix things.
For example, sign a year lease, a few weeks into the lease you realise the apartment is riddled with damp and mould, landlord won't do anything to sort it out - what is the tenants option??? They can't break their lease and why should they put their own money into fixing it??? Its not their premises, its the landlords!
Its not as easy as just walking away from these situations if you are a tenant! By the time you realise your landlord is useless, or you realise there is something wrong with the place, you have already signed a lease that you can't walk away from.

Speaking as a landlord, I have always treated my tenants with the greatest of respect and generally look after them. Just put in a new bathroom in the house only because the old one was a bit dated and am now putting in a new kitchen. The tenant was quite happy with the old ones but I thought it only right to make the changes and ensure the property is comfortable and that the tenant gets value for money. I have always taken this approach and my tenants give it back in spades.
