Hope this is the correct place to ask this. Daughter is a Uni student and was in a mixed shared house with a number of others both male and female. All paid in to a deposit. A few months ago the basement toilet got blocked and overflowed. It's one of those macerator types and when the plumber inspected it a new unit had to be fitted - tampons were found in the system and were blamed on the failure. The landlord is now wanting to deduct the £600 cost of replacement from the deposit. Of course the chaps are saying this is nothing to do with them. The ladies are (reasonably) asking how can it be proven that they would be responsible? Can the Landlord do this or does s11 of the Landlord & Tenant Act (Landlord repair responsibilities) apply here? TIA Andy

I was tempted to say that was a quick win! But then I noticed the date on your link.... just now need the follow through ... apparently....

I have signed - this seems entirely reasonable to me Good luck Andy
