I carried out my 6-monthly inspection and discovered that the Tenants had dumped my sofa, armchair and curtains in the shed as they have their own. The shed is not watertight and it is bound to get damp. I am not sure I want to just sit back and rely on the deposit as I may need that for a couple of other issues (a ceiling or two might need replastering upstairs - there is cracking and it looks like a small hole fell through, which the Tenants replastered but made a shoddy job of it). Apparently there was a leak in
the roof months ago, which they did not tell me about!
Do you think I should ask them to transfer me the funds for the sofa, armchair and curtains? In fact, I could even ask them for the funds for replastering, although I am less comfortable about that if the roof did in fact have a leak (no way of me knowing whether they are telling the truth). On the one hand, I don't want to lose tenants who pay the rent on time each month, but on the other, I don't want to lose out.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
