• I think best advice is to start looking for something else and agree with the landlord to burn the contract once you do.

    Situations like this are no fun and being in the right doesn't help when the stress of it all is spoiling your daily life.

    Life's too short to argue with cunts in real life. That's what internet forums are for.

  • This may be the best solution, we're saving for a house at the moment and hoping to be there in about 12 months. The reason we live in our flat is because it has an amazing terrace, but it's not great during the winter. This might be a good occasion to find something cheaper for the winter in order to (hopefully) buy something next summer.

    The whole thing is just so depressing, you pay an insane amount of money in rent, on time, without fail and you get treated like shit.

  • From a litany of recent experience I'm prone to agree with this now.

    And when lawyers charge £250 an hour or charge £150 for writing a holding letter being in the right is still a very expensive privilege to have...

    Still, if you've got the cash reserves (or your household insurance covers legal expenses) and have let the fucker dig himself a nice large hole lined with stupidity and greed then you might come out the other side a bit stressed but quids in if you play your cards right @So_Gewürzt_it_hurtz
