My deposit is not protected under the deposit schemes as my rent is over £25k pa.
This is really neither here nor there, but how big a flat does a rent of +£25k p/a get you? :eek:2015 comp wins - £370.25
Recent wins: gym class, baby stuff
Thanks to everyone who posts freebies and comps! :j0 -

Ok, so I sounds as if I need to bend over on this one and pay the rent.
However, surely I am able to deduct reasonable expenses with regard extra cost of electricity due to them not being bothered to fix the boiler?
(cost of using boost all day vs economy 7 overnight?)
Why do you need to put boost on all day? Why not put boost on for an hour before you need a shower? If you need hot water for washing up etc. use the kettle, it's quicker and cheaper. Putting boost on for an hour is really not going to cost you a significant amount of money over and above what you would have spent heating water overnight. Heating is by far the biggest user of electricity.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0
