Don't know if u can help with this but here goes:
I have a tenant currently £790 in arrears (nearly 2 months) my claim for possession was suspended to give her chance to pay back what she owes £50 per month.she has now advised the washing machine is broken and can I get it fixed. I'm not really in a position to pay out and really feel like why should I. Am I within my rights to refuse until the arrears is paid

Others can advise if you're entitled to refuse to fix it; but I'm pretty certain its not something you'd have to treat as top priority, so could drag it out a little in theory.

I'm really sorry that this part of the free forum Moneysavingexpert.com, a subsection populated by a large number of tenants, hasn't provided you the service that you would normally expect from your £150 an hour solicitor advising you how to avoid your contractual obligation to maintain your tenants home.
I can't imagine what has gone wrong but I am sure Martin Lewis will be along soon to deal with the matter personally.0 -
I haven't read the other thread yet, but are you sure there is a contractual obligation? Have you read the contract in question?ruggedtoast wrote: ».....advising you how to avoid your contractual obligation to maintain your tenants home.0
