You still just need to turn the tap off above the hot water tank and it will solve your problem <ok>

Trust me done all of this, you can see where the water is under the first bathroom floor, when you walk in you can smell dampness. You can see what we use by the screen shot, it works out at 79 cubic metres since July 2019.

It’s impossible to get a hot water leak anywhere in your house if you have stopped the cold water going into the bottom of your hot water tank mate<ok>

There is 3 tanks in the loft, I am led to believe this has something about what you are saying mate? the plumber did everything and the water is still leaking. When i sit on my first toilet, I can feel the ceramic floor tiles are warm , seriously

If it's a mains leak, which it sounds like, it's Northumbria waters issue, not yours or your landlord, and they'll pay you compensation.

The threads interesting though, have you a tenancy agreement, is that the agreement you talk about? If you have and you're paying the rent specified in there then jobs a good un, any repairs are his responsibility, unless you caused damage, if you haven't got a tenancy agreement you've still got squatters rights, but you'd be a bit on a sticky wicket with your rights.

Absolute rubbish mate, no such thing as squatters rights. A landlord has statutory repairing obligations that are cover by law. In the absence of a written tenancy agreement the default position becomes that as defined by the housing act. Also bear in mind that despite many things that could be agreed in a tenancy agreement no one can sign away their statutory rights in favour of someone else.

If you have three tanks in your loft 1 will be a small one that top your rads up the other large one is your cold tank that should be 22ml pipe and usually feeds your bath and the third will be your hot water tank which you can turn off directly above via a small tap ( this won’t help you much as you will have to go up and down to the loft all the time ) also you must have no hot water tank anywhere on your bungalow floor level?

tenancy agreement, very much worth the paper it’s written on, but only a court could enforce the terms, providing the are seeped fair and lawful
