Hi peeps,
Hope don't mind me hijacking this thread. I also want to break a tenancy agreement but my circumstances are different and also noticed this post was dated 2005 and so the law might have changed since then.
I recently took on an agreement for a property, quite hastily, long-story short, the place I wanted to rent was sold instead after I'd paid my deposit and had 2 days before lease on existing place expire where I couldn't stay because of job relocation and I was overseas when this all happened!
It's a private lease through a private letting agents and I am having so many problems to the point I'm miserable
Things in the house keep going wrong which I know can't be helped but the time it takes for them to get repaired is unacceptable. The shower didn't work (it's the only one) and it took almost a fortnight for someone to come and look at it and almost another fortnight for the landlord to decide whether to replace the shower or repair.
I also didn't realise that this is actually a council housing estate and that the tenant purchased this house from the council. So all the council tenants can call me a bigot if they wish but I was raised in a council estate and so I know that the way of life is just not the same. Here there are neighbours that leave bin liners of rubbish outside on the pathways because their wheelie bins are full and there is rubbish everywhere creating a health hazard.
My next door neighbour whom I've never met keeps throwing rubbish into my garden and I'm too scared to approach them as they are known (I have been cautioned by other neighbours) for being quite aggressive and physically fighting with people. This is the same neighbour that leaves the rubbish everywhere.
My car parking space isn't outside my house but is in the area where the wheelie bins are left for collection. Next to another house. The resident of this other house takes exception to the time my neighbours leave their wheelie bins uncollected and at the fact they leave bin liners of rubbish and for reasons I cannot fathom has taken to moving the wheelie bin and bin liners in front of my car. On the last bin collection this person rammed the wheelie bin for my neighbours into the bonnet of my car.
I wrote him a note and put it through his door asking him not to do this and if it continued I'd have no option but to contact the police. That night this man's son came to my door and was shouting and threatening me.
I'm so miserable. I worked hard to get out of a council estate and all this grief that goes with it and now I'm paying for a private let but am in a council estate with certain people leaving rubbish everywhere and deliberately littering my garden and making me scared to do or so anything.
So I might not actually have an option but to break the lease, if things get worse I can't stay here, I live on my own (I'm female).
Can someone please advise what, if any rights I might have?
Thanks in advance.
