• me * who caused it.

    I like all the words, boring the lawyer into submission is a very valid tactic. It's not their £3000, be annoying and long-winded and they'll tell the landlord to settle just to make you go away.

    Don't worry about unsupported statements, so long as you are telling the truth.

    Make a counter offer at the end - £5k maybe.

  • Found relevant case-law and very politely but long windedly told them that we'd take £3k now or £6k in court for the privilege of living in cunt landlord's flea-pit these last months.

    Have now had an argument with gf as she seems to be feeling the strain more than me and having previously driven the 'let's take the cunt to court' option is responding to the stress by suddenly questioning if the earth isn't flat after all and we should have just taken 1k and fucked off into the sunset.

    I would have been more inclined to do this if I hadn't already spent two days reading up on legal minutae about infestations of every variety, Constructive Notice, Statutory Nuisance, and indicating you'll be a really obstructive arsehole whilst pretending you're just being really thorough and diligent.

    Please please please I can't be bothered both going to court over this and dealing with relationship dramas...
