Updating post from Reddit.
I just came out the end of some bs with a landlord and agent. They tried to charge me £120 for some light limescale on taps and a shower head (of course I should have cleaned them better, but I deemed £120 ridiculous). I asked for more explanation based on the check-in/out reports. The landlord got upset at this request, and bumped up the ask to £155. They had a receipt for the cleaning, but I told TDS it wasn't my responsibility to pay for a cleaning overcharge.
The TDS report that followed put a massive smile on my face. To have multiple people tell me I'm wrong, only to follow with the TDS slapping down the gavel, felt amazing. I'd be interested to hear stories like this (on both sides) less
Yes, they got mine down to £5 after the LL accidently admitted to letting people in for private viewings between me completing a professional clean and the check out clerk coming.
She also messed up by claiming for a bathroom mirror cabinet to be replaced stating it was broken but the check out clerk had checked it and it was sound when she did.
I ended up agreeing to give her a 5er for a washing basket that we threw away because it was broken and forgot to replace.
Did you mean to post in r/TenantsInTheUK? This is an L here
Asks on both sides specifically so think they are in the right place
Yeah this sub might as well be a tenants' sub now.
