Right folks, bear with me for a moment here...I need some advice re. rental situation myself and the missus have gotten ourselves into.
We moved into new house last weekend, and on moving some bits and pieces in (Saturday night) we spied the place was absolutely crawling....filthy cupboards, oven, mould in the fridge/freezer, everything really
So we contacted the letting agent who to his credit called back that night, and arranged for landlord to get in and clean the place properly on Sunday/Monday. In the meantime, we had to contact our previous landlord and she kindly agreed to let us stay in the old house for an extra night or two.
We came down on Monday night, and the place looked clean, there was still a small bit to do, but overall we were happier, and as we had shitloads to do, we told landlord that we'd do the rest (he maintained there was only an hour or so left).
Now, since then, it seems everywhere we look is fucking crawling again.....damp smell coming from behind cupboards, dirt everywhere, we even found old hair clippings from god only knows when in one of the bedside lockers....seriously disgusting shit.
We're fed up and basically want out.....as we signed a 12 month lease before moving in, are we screwed, or does anybody know if we can get out of it?
I know there's a clause where we can look to sub-let the place, and if landlord refuses then we can give 28 days notice, but knowing our luck the fucker'd agree to it.
So, wise sages of proc.....what do we do!!!!!!
