Introduction to Home Staging

You need to go to the CAB these will tell you your rights.

There’s no problem here, the fact that you have been there years and didn’t even know you had an inspection chamber there goes to show how well the thing was installed.

For internal use, it needs to be an AIRTIGHT cover, to prevent any gases (methane) rising up from the drains into the house. Usually it will say AIR TIGHT on it, and be screwed down and have a rubber seal. As you have not mentioned any smells I assume it is doing it’s job.

Let your neighbour use the acces point, that is what it is there for, and your sewage also goes down the same route.

Any damage to your carpets etc needs to be claimed through YOUR contents insurance if you have any.

The practice of putting covers into extensions is perfectly legal and normal, and the local authority must have approved and inspected it, I can assure you.

It is not so easy to move a sewer run so that it goes around the outside of the property. And I don’t see where the problem is, your landlord has not done anything wrong, make sure the cover is fitted back securely and it is airtight.

How could you sue the landlord? What damages have you incured? You lived there for 4 years and had a roof over your head. You payed your rent, got a place to live…end of story.

if its a double sealed type you wont get any smell back.I’ve put loads of these in extensions and conservatories,and never had a come back on any.but that’s a strange one living room.if you haven’t noticed any smell in 4years and while its been blocked,i wouldn’t worry.but I’d tell the landlord you want to lay a laminate floor and how are you supposed to gain access then.and request he as the manhole piped through with just a roding access.
