PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    I'm not sure that that a bunch of anonymous posts on an internet forum will influence your landlord.

    It might be better to focus on explaining the facts clearly to your landlord, and making it clear what the basis of your claim is -  i.e. it sounds like you believe the landlord was negligent, so explaining why you believe the landlord was negligent. and the losses you suffered as a result.


    Landlord paid for a locksmith last night after these screenshots and some other websites I sent. I’ve used the internet before to prove my point to my landlord and it’s worked.
