Wasn't sure whether to post this off the back of the buying property thread but thought not in case it gets missed and it's a renting question.
I've recently rented a two bedroom flat in London through a letting agent I won't mention just yet.
We had on our tenancy agreement:
- New fridge freezer as the current one is too small for two people - landlord agreed and we have the new fridge
- New mattress as the last one was disgusting - landlord agreed and I have a new mattress
- Removal of all sound system / TV equipment / art stuff (I didn't want it) - landlord agreed and his friends have since removed it.
- Removal of rubbish in the garden - loads of planks of wood, giant broken pots, bins etc. The letting agent is arguing that they only agreed to remove the ''planks of wood'' and the cleaner is coming on Thursday to remove it (2 weeks after I've moved in).
There is also a load of rubbish in the two storage cupboards at the front of the property. I think that everything should be removed PRIOR to moving in - it's not our stuff or rubbish, so why should we have to live with it as a new tenant? Do I have a leg to stand on here? I was going to offer the cleaner removing the planks of wood some extra £ to do the job properly, but I feel that none of it should have been here when I move in?
I also think the cleaner should be cleaning the area that had all the sound equipment / art stuff as they couldn't clean this when they professionally cleaned the property when before we moved in, as it was too full to even move!
I'd be interested to gt everyones thoughts. One part of me thinks it should all be sorted by the letting agent and another part tells me I'm expecting too much from a rental.
