Walrus,
Did you complain about the problems to the landlord or managing agents? If so what work was done? If you have not dont even bother with this as you should have complained at teh time not when your being charged.
£800 seems a tad expensive but if you havent returned the property to teh consition you recieved it in then you have a problem.
Does the house have 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens? also does it have sinks in each bedroom?
If you were concerened about the heating and extention you should have asked environmental health to conduct an assessment on the property, again at the time not when you have been charged.
The thing is teh landlord will now lose rent while having these works conducted and fair play to him for charging you. The house has 2 bathrooms but one kitchen. The downstairs bathroom was out of action for most of the year. We complained about the said problems but only downstairs bathroom was eventually fixed - they moved the toilet etc. and left them in the kitchen over Xmas before fixing it days before we returned. However, they're swearing blind we didn't complain, but I spent hours on the phone to housing office. I got accustomed to the sighs of annoyance every time I mentioned our address! I'm pretty confident if the extension was examined it wouldn't be fit to live in. Those who slept in the extended bedrooms had to suffer clouds of condensation as they breathed out! NB: The burnt chair is not my doing, but apparently a match for the worktop cannot be find. Fiirstly it was christmas so to not have it fixed around that date, as a religious holiday would be deemed reasonable. You had another bathroom so you were not left without one. Did you put it ion writing? if not good luck Condensation is caused by lack of ventilation, you should have opened windows and left a small space behind things to create an air flow throughout and reduc condensationAs it cannot be sourced, you need to replace all work tops in order to re let the house = adds cost. = Unlucky Sorry to put it as above but this is what they will say With no central heating this is not really fair is it ?

When me and my Mrs rented a new apartment via Dewhirst they charged us loads for "leaving the apartment not in the condition we found it in".
After living there for a year how the fuck can you leave an apartment in a brand new condition - it's been lived in.
There was nothing wrong with the place but they still charged us £200. Complained about it and got some knocked off the bill but not a lot.

How many of you were staying there ? At £125 each compensation, if it was 6 of you there would appear to be no problem. Or have I read it wrong ?

property is theft, therefore you're fully entitled to do a runner
