by theartfullodger

You say he increased rent by 25% and that was within his rights. He only has the right to propose an increase (you have the right to propose a lower increase or indeed a decrease). You had the right to appeal the increase: Did you?

Did he serve you with S48 and s3 notices? S48 needs an...

It's not about fault, it's about liability.

The tenant is responsible for returning the property to the landlord in the same condition as it was let, less fair wear and tear.

Let's imagine that the tenancy ended today.
