Hi everyone,
Hoping you guy's might have some advice for me, my partner and i rent a flat through a letting agent, our shower has now be broken for coming upto a month now.
The letting agents say they are waiting on the landlords say so for the work to be done on the shower, as he's now decided to go for a electric shower, rather than replace the mixer shower we already have in the flat. he's had to get 2 quotes for the work.
Are we right to hold onto this months rent till we have agreed date as in our eyes we're paying for a flat with a shower.

If you want to risk being evicted...
Have a read up: http://england.shelter.org.uk/advice/advice-4037.cfm0 -
do not stop paying the rent. But keep on phoning the LA to ask for an update. Do you have a bath with hot water supply ? if so, you have hot water and the means to stay clean so there is no reason to withhold the rent.0
