The "damp" thing rings a bell as well.
I used to live with a bloke (who owned the flat) whose flat was damp.
Basically an ex-council authority place which hadn't been well maintained.
He refused to be told that the "damp" wasn't being caused by the windows being closed. His logic being that the condensation on the windows seemed to go away when they were open.
So there we sat week in week out, with no heating and open windows.
( The heating was somehow responsible for the damp as well )
He had a point, to an extent - non-ventilated homes with damp problems just end up with escalated damp problems, generally mould and rot. But leaving *all* the windows open and no heating on definitely wasn't helping...
Based on a few mates experience, nearly anyone who takes tenants in to the house/flat they live in themselves is either nuts or gradually turns nuts. One lived with two religious nutters for a year that used to wake him up on Sunday and tell him to go to mass.
