I'm not faffing about , just waiting until all the letters turned up. I have already made the offer twice and they have not accepted, just a counter offer of £1300 from LL.

How much did you ask for?

£1300 does not sound at all bad to me. There's an upper limit on what it's worth to the LL. He can just rent somewhere else, after all. I expect you can push him up by a hundred or two.

Agree a decent reference, which is the LL's interests if he wants you out, and you've got a deal IMHO.

If you want more money, you can always take the £1300 on offer, leave, and then sue for the non-secured deposit later.

3 months rent @ £3105
Agent Fees @ £300
Moving Costs @ £400
Deposit back @ £1100

That's absurdly high.

Blimey, I'd have been happy with a grand! Easily pleased lol.


I don't think you're going to get very far with your demands. Let us know how it progresses. Presume no choice but court now.

I'm serious.

Given the wording in the contract I immediately add 20%- really cheeky.

I'd say a reasonable sum would be fees- £300, moving costs £400, 6x month rent + return of deposit ofcourse

Edit: apologies was counting from today so to move out in April - 3x month rent

Not as high as this

So its the same as the above.

What's a reasonable amount?

leslieknope

that's pretty high.... i get the LL has been misinformed, stupid, and not thinking. but you haven't helped yourself. £1300 then ask for moving costs and agents fees and that should be more than enough. and you have 2 months to find somewhere.

you didn't present your best self in your managing of the tax situation, some of the correspondence you sent wasn't particularly amicable.

i just don't know why you would want to drag this out especially as you said your partner was stressed. find somewhere with more security and move on with your £1300.

I think it's worth bearing in mind that the LL would need to rent somewhere, pay all those fees for themselves and presumably rent at similar cost - for a 6 month minimum period.

Asking for rent at the same value for the remaining months is a saving for the LL given the property would be empty for 3 months and brining in no income, but rather cost.

I don't think it's too high; as a LL, that's what I'd have offered.... I might have gone higher on negotiation....

As a LL I would rather spend it on a holiday cottage somewhere in the stick rented weekly until August than hand over £5k to OP that he can then spend on a nice family holiday!
