when is a tenancy a holiday let?

I rented a property for 15 days and there is a dispute issue.

Why did you rent the property for only 15 days?

He's talking about 'long term' damage that is unlikely to have been caused in just 15 days.

If you had ripped his shower off the wall, damaged the shower cubicle, broken the table, etc. then he would have a claim against you.
But not for what you are telling us.

Actually we know nothing. Just a vague, imprecise unclear snippet of what he purportedly did. OP needs to test his case in court.

I was moving home. I found that more convenient than staying with a friend. Another question was why 400 pounds. I honestly thought that it was normal. This is in London.
