Hello,
I have a question regarding adaptations when renting from a private landlord.
We've been renting our current property for almost 5 years now. My partner has got a medical problems that are getting worse with time.
At the beginning of the tenancy (5 years ago), the house was completely fine. First the contract was for 1 year, then renewed by another 2 and then another 2. Now landlord has offered another 2 year extension (but also increased our rent). The problem is the my partner's health has worsened in the last 2 years quite dramatically (he's currently in the process of applying for PIP) and the house in it's current state is not suitable anymore.
Due to my partner's joint problems, he's got trouble getting up/down the stairs (even falling a few times and going up the stair on all fours as he couldn't stand up on his own) as there is no handrail/banister for him to grab on.
Another issue is the bathroom. There is a bath with a shower over it. My partner can't use the shower (can't stand for longer periods) so has to take the bath. But he's got trouble getting out of the bath as there is nothing for him to grab onto to get up unaided. Sometimes I have to help him but it's not easy, he weights 22 stone and I only weigh 9 so it's not exactly safe for either one of us. If there was a grab handle, it would help a lot.
Please Help.
Thanks !
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
