Hi, I have questions about the new house I'm renting. Here's the new info.
Q1 – Where is the rented property located (England / Wales / Scotland / N Ireland)?
England
Q2 – What type of Tenancy Agreement (TA) is this e.g. sole tenant / multiple tenant / room only?
Sole family
Q3 – What date did current TA start dd/mm/yy?
26/09/18
Q4 – How long was initial fixed term (6/12/24 months / other)?
12 months
Q5 – Does the TA state that rent is due weekly? / 4-weekly? / per calendar month (if so, on what same date each month)?
PCM - 26th
Q6 – Did the TA require a tenant damage deposit to be paid? If so, on what date was this paid (dd/mm/yy)?
26/09/18
Q7 – If your query relates to a notice for repossession from the landlord (a Section 8 or Section 21 notice) or a tenants's notice to quit to the landlord, please provide the exact date the notice was sent/received (dd/mm/yy).
N/A
Q8 – Does the landlord live in the same property as the tenant?
No
So we live in a three storey townhouse. Our top floor bathroom has a skylight window (the only window in there) that we cannot open. It has a really old extractor fan, but it doesn't seem to do anything other than make a noise.
Do we have the right to request they fix or replacement, given there is no other source of ventilation? It always smells off in there.
Our kitchen on the ground floor has the same problem, there's an old extractor fan on the ceiling that doesn't do anything other than make the room stink when we turn it on.
There is also no hood extractor fan for the hob, so when we cook it gets so smoky, stings our eyes and stinks the house out. Should there be one provided as standard?
The kitchen floor vinyl has a few chunks missing from it. It's a super old floor and it's so worn it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in decades. How could I approach asking them to replace it? I don't want to seem difficult or anything, it's just hard to see if I've cleaned it properly because of its age and the pebble sort of pattern on it, as well as tripping on the gaps being frustrating.
Thanks
