Hi,
Do I as a tenant have any legal rights in the following situation/is the landlord allowed to do the following:
1. 2 Months ago a deposit was paid on a rental property with an agreement that the move would take place mid-September.
2. Landlord is unable to meet this date and it is agreed that move date can be moved forward to End-September.
3. Landlord is once more unable to meet this date - he does however state that furniture for downstairs can be moved in and constructed on 31st September.
4. Furniture is moved in and constructed etc. Installation of telephone line, redirection of mail etc all paid for. Informed that he will be demolishing neighbouring property - creation of building site etc.
5. Day before we fully move (today) LL informs agency that we cannot move since he has found tenants willing to pay more.
Is he allowed to make us have no property etc even after considerable costs have been incurred on our part and we have partially moved into the property. For Unknown reasons the LL has constantly delayed any signing of written Agreement/Contract, however all terms were verbally agreed between LA and LL and us and having already partially moved into the house is that of any relevance?
I have no legal knowledge, so I have no idea if legally there is anything wrong. It just feels as if have been very wrongly treated and will now incur even more costs due to behaviour of LL
Any advice will be greatfully received,
Ben Ward
