Does our landlord have the right to make us steam clean the carpets before we leave? (Answers: 3) (Comments: 0)

We're moving out at the end of the month and our landlord recently told us to steam clean the carpets (which were quite old before we got here) or else it was implied she would take it out of our security deposit. Our carpets are clean, have been vacuumed regularly, and we don't wear shoes in the house. Does the landlord have the right to demand this of us? Is it normal procedure for tenants to do this or is the landlord being unreasonable here?

Landlord responsible for getting rid of bugs? (Answers: 6) (Comments: 0)

I live in an apartment and lately, I have been noticing in the past few years, more and more of these weird bugs in my suite. I think they are coming from the cracks in the window panelling. Is the landlord responsible for fixing the cracks or reinsulating? The landlord is an extremely bad one, very argumentative and doesn't ever want to fix anything for us. I cannot be sure where the bugs are coming from but I do see them crawling in the windowsill between the screens. What should I do? Thanks.

What can my landlord legally do to me if I cause damage to the apartment? (Answers: 8) (Comments: 0)

One of my friends rammed down a bedroom door at my apartment and when the door fell it broke in half, so it's completely destroyed. So I am just curious what my landlord can do for destroying the door. Also I'm curious as to whether I should call up my landlord and report the door broken and just try and get it replaced now or if I should try and replace the door on my own without the involvement of my landlord. Thanks in advance for the information!

When does your LandLord start turning your heat on for fall/winter? (Answers: 3) (Comments: 0)

Assuming your landlord controls the heat and the tenants cannot. Also, what state do you live in? If you control the heat yourself, when do you turn it on? Our landlord waits until the very end of November, sometimes mid December. We live in MA, it's already quite cold here and we live near the beach so we feel the ocean breeze, we also have drafty windows so even when the heat is on it is still pretty cold in our apartment. Is it normal for landlords to be so cheap like that?

Pre agreement
previous to enterting the property should there be any agreement by law between the landlord(s) and the tenant as to the content of that property. For example acknowledging there was a microwave in full working order?

Hi,

me and my housemates have been livin in property rented from agency. Owner of the property is living next door. We ve been having the problems with the both-agency, landlord. 1)Our tenancy agreement does not state maximum number of people living in the house. We are paying rent for whole house(not per room or per person). Our landlord said that she is not happy that there is more than four people in the house and that she might want to increase rent. Such clause specifying number of people in property is not included in contract. Does she have a right to increase our rent?
2) Our washing machine broke down month ago and landlord is not willing to invest in new one as she claims that it is too expensive (second hand washer is just 60 pound)

thanks for ansver

A bit of grey area
These answers will need to be properly confirmed by a property agency or lawyer.. but..
1] Even though your agreement doesn't state you can't have more than 4 people.. it also doesn't state you CAN. The landlord cannot just increase your rent in this term period. But, when your lease is to renew she can. She may also be able to apply to increase your rent in THIS term so be careful.
2] If the washing machine was part of the fixtures listing in your rental agreement then it's the landlords responsibility to fix or replace it. You should contact the agency you rented the property through.. they should be able to sort this out for you.
You can also have a look at http://www.arla.co.uk for more 'legal' type info.

re: renting info
Check the fine print in your rental agreement papers you signed but yes you should be able to get out by giving your notice period.

The audit is free and with no obligation. So do please get in touch.
