[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 552657, member: 6969"] Just be aware if you are looking around in the loft and find a severed or disconnected cable, it could very well be live so take extreme care. If this was a new flat roof fitted from the outside it is highly likely a nail has severed a cable. Agreed the Landlord should fix it. If you push the issue and he tried to evict you you have a good case of that being a "revenge eviction" which is illegal. but if you don't want to fight with the LL and you are getting a good deal on the rent just get an electrician in and don't tell the LL just say you found a loose wire and fixed it if he asks.
