ULTIMATUM!!!!

I was informed by my landlord last night that there is going to be YET another Health & Safety Check on this coming Friday...of all the 365 days...they make it on a Friday the 13th.... and the below is an extraction of roughly my conversation with my landlord...

Landlord : Oh..Sha(my name in short)...on friday...
there will be another health and safety check...

Me : Wat..this friday?...or next?

LAndlord : This friday.

Me : On the 13th?

Landlord : yes, at 11.

Me : in the morning?

Landlord : yes...

Me : Ok....I will do something about it.
(walking towards my door)

Landlord : No sha...you really have to clear up...
Becos this people are very particular...
(saying this, he demostrate by wiping
his fingers at the corridor wall and give
a hard look at his finger, pretending to be them.

Me : Ok....i get your point...
( I opened my door)

LAndlord : Sha...I am serious...you really have to do
something...this is very serious...very very serious...
(i cannot remember the exact number of "serious"
he uses altogether in his speech....)

Me : ( By this time...I have already opened my door and
get halfway into my room...i look back at him...and say)
Yah...I understand.

Landlord : (Stressing ONE MORE TIME) Sha...I am not joking...
If they are not happy with the place...
They will shut the whole house down. VERY SERIOUS.
They will close this place down!

Me : Ok...I get that. (Calmly.. I close the door and locked it)


And my heart sunk.

I cannot understand...what has the mess got to do with health and safety.
The mess is innocent. They have done nothing wrong. They dun look good...but they have a heart of gold...and had done no harm to anybody...why do they have to force me do this.

And if the health and safety inspector is going to close down this place...I believe they should have more than one reason to do it...and NOT becos there is one messy room in the building. AND...if you all really want to know...the bathroom ceiling has been leaking since i arrive one year ago...and the tap is running 24 hours a day and the landlord never repair it...the windows in Room One is smashed and not replace for a long time...and the old door downstairs is older than me...and is rotting....the garden has grasses taller than me at one point...and the carpet...look at it...it is sooo dirty I had to vacumm it 4 times and lay newsapaper on it before i dare to walk on it...the fridge was full of mould when i move in...i had to disinfect them before i use it...i never had any complains...NEVER...even when he switch off the heater thinking it is spring...to save electrical bills...and my room is freezing...when the temperature at night reach ZERO...

I SHALL CLEAR UP AND MAKE SURE IT IS CLEANER THAN WHEN I MOVE IN!!!!...I SWEAR!!!!.....anyway it is time for me to do so....for my degree show...they will have a new home...my studio...and shall never have to live in that miserable place i live in....and to make sure that even if this place were to be shut down....IT HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!!!...I dun want to be blame for making people homeless....and...the hoorible thing is...the landlord sound as if....if the house will close down...it is only becos of me.

As for the health and safety check...if it passes...good for everybody...and i can stay until october as planned....if not...TOO BAD!
