GBTo call them absolutely appalling is… To call them absolutely appalling is quite generous of me. They just cannot seem to do a thing right when they eventually attempt to do anything at all. There has been a leak from the toilet of the flat upstairs on 2 occasions now. I have reported the fact my toilet, next doors and the flat aboves are faulty and not functioning properly and on occasion leak. The last leak drenched my carpet I was told a dehumidifier would be sent. After using towels to soak up as much water as possible and chasing up the dehumidifier for 2 weeks the carpets stank. When I finally spoke to someone I was told the carpets were destroyed and that they would pay for replacements. 5 months later nothing has been done about the toilets or the carpets. They don't empty gutters, we (4 tenants) each pay £20 a month service charge for maintenance of the communal areas the gardeners spend no more than 15 minutes a month at the properties they are bad mannered, lazy, useless and usually leave the commual areas in a worse state than on arrival they let the weeds grow through the flags up to a meter tall, when after many complaints a representative of the company phoned me and said he would come and check/audit there work next time they came and that he would contact me before hand so I could be there. They have since been twice and I never heard from him again . When they do send maintenance workers they destroy property. And there is now a considerable rat presence that has been reported on many occasions but not acted upon. They fail to communicate with me or each other. And to add insult to injury send news letters claiming to aim for excellency. The response below states they take all complaints very seriously, it could not be less accurate unless they mean they take the complaints been aired publicly seriously. They certainly don't act on complaints. The response also suggests I contact customer services which again is adding insult to injury as I have done so many many times. They clearly think my time is worthless. I still have not heard a thing from them regarding any repairs, the rat problem, the faulty toilets or the gardening problem.

GBNeglected We live in the centre of Stockport. The response to security issues has been neglectful. Poor response to the communal garden turning into a dog toilet; plants growing out of the roof for the past two years; mould developing on the walls; electrical equipment showing signs of deterioration; large amounts held in the unspent sinking fund; internal decoration not completed; fire door and emergency lighting messaging being difficult to understand. Senior people failing to arrive for meetings to discuss the above. This has left us feeling neglected as a property within the JJH empire.

GBJJH HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME Nothing can be worse than the way JJH run their housing association and the care and welfare of tenants. As far as the Tenancy Agreement goes, its not worth the paper is it written on. Where I live, JJH have broken every part of their responsibilities in the Tenancy Agreement. Including tenants health and safety, poor maintenance, allowing some tenants to continue using drugs and cause discomfort and distress to other tenants. Since I moved in 7 years ago, there has been a serious issue with the emptying of refuse bins. It can be weeks before the general waste bins are emptied. Bags of rotten food are left on the floor. When the bins are emptied, maggots can be seen in the bottom of the bins as they have never been washed-out in the time I have lived here - 7 years!! Then there is the smell which is though-out the building. It's an absolute disgrace. I’m not surprised that there is a big turnover of staff. How can they be expected to do a proper job when their hands are tied behind their backs. So, I won’t be holding my breath that things will be any better when JJH are taken over by SanctuaryHousing I live in Holly Bank House, Lindley, Huddersfield. A block of 15 flats in a lovely area.There are some lovely, kind and friendly tenants here. But recently there has been tenants that have caused problems. To the point of some tenants being frightened, stressed and intimidated. It seems that the rule is now to mix problem tenants with elderly, good tenants and hope they fit in. That is never going to happen here. There have had some help from some good JJH staff, but they have left because they were over stretch in covering too many areas, unable to carry out work due to ‘too many chiefs and not enough Indians’ and no job satisfaction.
