Thanks, I’ve told the agent that I consider them to be in breach of contract on four counts:
-unannounced and unauthorised entry by contractors
-failure to provide habitable accommodation on numerous grounds (mainly risk of Covid-19 infection)
-failure to provide inventory at start of tenancy
-pressure on tenants to pay earlier than set out in schedule in the agreementI have also repeatedly pointed out that the tenants bear no responsibility for the state of the house, which they acknowledge, and that they have acted in good faith by paying their deposit and rent in line with the schedule

As regards just clearing up and getting out ASAP, if that’s your choice then make sure the LL knows that you’re considering him to be in breach of contract. A contact is between two parties, and if he says you’re in breach of contract by withholding rent, then tell him he’s in breach of contract by failing to provide what you’re paying for, namely habitable accommodation. Stalemate.
