Got a letter from Cunt Landlord's lawyer (a real one this time, instead of faking forwarded emails containing bullshit) stating that the landlord has behaved entirely reasonably, our claim is without basis and our position is unacceptable but offering £1000 and the non-payment of withheld rent to drop any current or future claims against him.
I've composed a very measured but firm rejection of this listing all the things that are very unreasonable, and why our position is very acceptable having come after giving him four months to resolve the problem. We spoke to the neighbours and having been blamed by the landlord for the problem found out that the ex-tenants (a family of seven with dog and cat in a small 2 bed property) were antisocial neighbours.
As it stands I'd take £3000 to end the tenancy agreement early, representing a full rent refund plus £500 for damaged property, which given we've been unable to fully use or enjoy the property for the duration of the lease is pretty reasonable. Having written a lengthy rebuttal I'm now wondering if I should just get a lawyer to respond but fuck knows where I'll find the money for that. The main thing I'm concerned about is making unsupported statements whilst also wanting to point out there's a considerable amount of bullshit emanating from the landlord's supposed position of acting reasonably.
Oh to have a lawyer in the family.
