Hi all, We've been in the same flat for 2yrs now but with the landlord planning a rental increase (and the flat being overpriced as is) we've decided to move.
The problem is that during that time there has been 3 floods, causing damage in places. One from the flat upstairs, one from our boiler breaking and a third due to sub-standard piping falling apart behind the kitchen sink. The landlord knows about these incidents, was there at all of them. The plasma television has also died of old age - the landlord tried to get it fixed but then returned it broken to us. We believe this will affect the return of the deposit. For this reason, I have withheld the last month's rent until we can agree on the cost of damage (and who is responsible). The agents havven't taken kindly to this and are threatening us with immediate eviction. This is correct according to their contract (non-payment of rent, eviction can be within 3 days). Does anyone have any advice or legal tips that might help? BR Nick
