    Tell your hubby you are making the decision, as he isnt there, and you need to do the safest thing for the family.
    The damage is severe and you actually have responsibility to tell the landlord of any major damages to the house. This is one of them! lol

    I know you dont need the stress, but it will be a lot more stressful if you put your foot through the floor boards iykwim.

    Call hubby, tell him enough is enough, call the landlord and let him know what is going on.

    Good luck!

    Feeling much better now. Spoke to DP and he is going to have a look at it again when he gets home tonight and said we will give the landlords a call on the weekend and see what they want to do.

    Hoping it isnt to bad or that it can be fixed like Jas said as I jsut cant even contemplate moving right now but I guess we jsut have to do what we have to do!

    Thanks for all your advice

    Hi, we had termites all through our rental, almost every internal wall had their little dust pile thingys sticking out. It cost the real estate a pretty penny but like Jas said all they did was come out and put the stations in and re-bait them every 6 weeks, we didn't have to do anything or go anywhere
