Hi every one!
This question may have been ask before, but here goes.
I have a friend who is renting a flat in a block. He came home to find all his electric off. He called the agent who said the problem is between him and the landlord, as they only found a tenant for the landlord. The landlord has not been quick to reply to this issue, so my friend called the company supplying the electric who charged a call out fee and connection.
The past three days his freezer has been off and food wasted. I think he has not bought content insurance. He has also learnt the landlord has not paid the mortgage, for a number of months. He is due to pay rent at the end of the month, but feels the banks are in the process of repossessing the flat.
Last time a problem raised it’s head he deducted it from the rent, having notified the landlord in advance.
How can he recover his money?
He has signed a contract for three years; can he get compensation, as he will be homeless if forced out?
How long can he stay in the flat legally?
Thanks in advance!
