The Committee reached its decision based on the evidence obtained by the Committee at the inspection on 41h August, 2008. Mr. Mike Links, Surveyor member of the Committee inspected the area of alleged water penetration in the ground floor bedroom (front) with a damp meter and found no evidence of moisture. There was historic evidence of damp penetration in the ceiling of the bedroom (cracked plasterwork and staining). However, there was no evidence to indicate that the ingress was ongoing. The Committee visually inspected the front roof of the property and noticed two new tiles and evidence of a recent application of sealant near the first floor bathroom dormer window. The Committee asked the Tenant to operate the first floor landing light while the Committee observed that the light was fUlly operational.The Committee accordingly determined that the Landlord had not failed to comply with the duty imposed by Section 14 (1 )(b) of the Act.
