I'm sure they did. Thanks, Reddit strangers! One less apartment available to rent, but at least several internet users have more smug satisfaction.

The rules exist for a reason. The reason in this case is to prevent people dying in a fire. "But we're really short of flats in London" is not a good excuse for allowing landlords to risk the lives of their tenants to make a buck.

Oh, I wouldn't have a problem with a tenant reporting the crimes of a slumlord. I just really hate Reddit crowds of do-gooders who brigade over a picture and a blurb.
