I started renting a single room in September. The boiler is located in my room and was replaced with a new one about three weeks after I moved in.

Afternoon all,

After 2 years in a property, our landlady has now turned quite nasty and is demanding (what I feel are) excessive 'damage' costs.

The biggest one I am concerned about:

Hi, this is a really complicated situation but I'll try to keep this short and clear.

4 of us signed a lease on 6th Sept 2011 for a 23 month period. There is no break clause for either the landlord or us as tenants. However the following clause is listed in our agreement:

When my wife, baby and I moved into our flat, we found that the landlord used Virgin for phone, TV & internet and the flat only had Virgin connections for these. (There was no mention of this when viewing the property.) Because we have an existing contract with BT, this was no good to us.
