Finally got our property back. The state of it is incredible as was the smell and flies - they had left rotting food out. I can't believe how dirty the walls and ceilings are although there were loads of candles around which my husband thinks is part of the problem. We're lucky there wasn't a fire...

Reply to Environmental Health - Visit to Property

by llbuilder_1

The tenant is supposed to follow a procedure before contacting the council, you should be contacted ideally in writing with the problem and given sufficient time to address the problem.

If they haven't done this, contact the council team and inform them of the situation. If you are pro-active...

Reply to Quick question about deposit

by jpkeates

No.

You are being asked for compensation for a loss beyond fair wear and tear which the landlord is obliged to keep to a minimum.
The loss would be the lost use of the carpet, which have lasted 5 years already, and would have had an expected lifetime of maybe 8 years.

Quick question about deposit

by KittleSkittle

Am I correct that the landlord can’t charge me for new carpets, but only for the loss of expected life of the original carpets? Or should I just pay up for an easy life?

Reply to Quick question about deposit

by KittleSkittle
