Summary: Landlord confirms awareness of sewer gas injury and waives rent in writing, after Polly Chromatic reports serious health harm due to unsafe housing conditions.
I. What Happened
On 3 November 2023, Polly Chromatic emailed her landlord Elad to report:
– Acute illness from conditions at 37E Elgin Crescent
– Diagnosis of eosinophilic asthma exacerbated by sewer gas
– Inability to search for housing due to medical crisis
– Request for respect of lease terms while recovering
Elad responded:
– Confirming Polly should not pay rent that month
– Stating health and safety was the “top priority”
– Asking for hotel invoices for cost reimbursement
– Confirming he was awaiting Thames Water's repair update
II. What the Record Establishes
• The landlord explicitly acknowledges environmental harm
• This is a written admission of injury + financial burden
• Thames Water is named as a third-party delay factor
• The reply reflects legal responsibility and interim remedy (waived rent, reimbursement)
• This supports both the insurance case against RBKC and your housing damages claim
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because when your body says “I’m poisoned” and the landlord says “don’t pay rent,” we document both.
Because this wasn’t sympathy — it was risk management dressed as courtesy.
Because this is the moment the gas wasn’t just real — it was acknowledged.
SWANK logs every admission where silence would’ve served them better.
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not accept that tenants must prove illness when landlords already knew.
We do not accept that rent is owed when lungs collapse.
We do not accept that reimbursement erases responsibility.
This wasn’t kindness. It was liability avoidance — and we archived it.
