She rented the property from me six years ago, before the deposit scheme came in, so that's one less hassle. You're right - time to toughen up, get over feeling let down that I'd given her a break by keeping her rent down but got bitten on the bum, forget my attachment to the place (I used to live there and loved it), and get it on the market!

You prob are entitled to money to pay for the repairs, but it may not be worth the hassle especially as i think you've done well to have the same tenant for 6 years, so have saved on marketing and void periods etc.0
