Hi, that's a lie Lorna! I have on numerous occations asked you to please fix the boiler, since 2007, but you haven't. I last asked you to fix the boiler, last month, with the washing-machine and the stove. Nothing has happened! It must have been eight or ten times that I've asked you to fix the boiler, but nothing has happened. I'll start paying the regular rent now, when I get my study-loan. I'll ask the Norwegian Government to send it as soon as possilbe. Sorry about the delay, I'll pay down on all the arrears later, when I get a good job and a good income, so you're going to get your money, even if it hasn't been hot-water. But please be so kind as to get the hot-water fixed, like you have promised many times!

The comment over hot water our Maintainance Department have checked you job reports and on the few occasions you have reported works they have been completed, I have given the works out that you gave last week I will however chase them up.

It says: As a tenant, you have the right to adequate living facilities such as hot and cold water, heating, electricity, ventilation, toilet facilities and a drainage system. If the house you are in does not meet health and safety standards you may be able to take legal action. So I have the right to have hot water, which I haven't had for almost two years now. It also says: A landlord can ask the court to decide if eviction is necessary if: you've broken the terms of your contract (i.e. trashed the place); you're consistently late in paying the rent; you lied about yourself to get the place; you're unemployed (in cases where having a job was a condition of the contract). So you can't just throw me out, as I understand it. I know I have had problems paying the rent, but I've been un-employed and self-employed and underpaid working on behalf of Packaging Europe, and I also wrongly lost my job at Arvato, working on behalf of Microsoft, like I explained to you, in 2006. And it's not easy for me to get control of my life, when I haven't got hot-water in my flat. I'm trying to get control, and I will pay the rent, but I don't think it's fair that I should pay the whole rent, when I haven't even got hot-water, washing machine, stove, and it isn't fully furnitured eighter, I have to use the bed-tables for the TV in the living room etc, and the heather isn't working in the bath. You have promised me many time to fix this problems, but nothing had happened. I haven't got anywhere else to live, you see, so it's not to make problems, but I have to get a job, and find another place to live first, you can't just expect me to live on the street. So I hope you can fix the hot-water at least, which I have contacted you about many times. Sorry again with the delays with the rent, but I'm going to get a study-loan, from Norway, in the automn, so then I can afford to pay the full rent again, since that's quite a lot. Sorry about the delay again! Yours sincerely, Erik Ribsskog
