[850Rick]

Ive been in the attic of the house im renting.We are moving out wekend and moving back to the house we own.The land lady said they had the chimney removed right up in to the attic so tonight i took a look to find its supported by a piece of wood a few inches thick holding the rest of the chimney up going on to the roof.Is this safe?ive looked out side and it looks like my roof and next doors roof is taking a small dip in the middle

You need to report this as soon as possible, first to your Landlady and second to your local Building Control department.
