Reply to Landlord claiming we need to pay £600 for repairs for a rotten floor

From your post I would say that if you have in writing that she waived the late fees she cannot reimpose them now. I think her late fees are probably also unfair & unenforceable.

If the damage was caused by a leak behind the sink this cannot be attributed to you. If the leak was such...

Landlord / DPS deposit return

by Bern-1000

I took on a one bedroom flat tenancy in Southport late December 2020.
Because of shall we say disturbances in the flat below... by early August I sadly gave notice to leave.
I contacted the agent who on my last day turned up with his inventory notes for the flat inspection. It probably took...

Don't you think that these non-working applicants would be applying for flats at LHA if there were any?
