  1. Hiya... me & my wife are looking to rent a larger house in preparation for a new arrival (woohoo!) the problem is, we're a bit short of money (aren't we all?) and are a bit worried our current landlord could demand some money for repairs to the flat when we leave there's stuff that goes beyond the normal wear & tear... i.e puppy-chewed holes in the carpet (it was brand new when we moved in), furniture and skirting boards - ouch My wife seems to think our landlord is entitled to keep the deposit we paid (equivalent of 1 months rent) to cover damages, but I would assume he can ask us to pay the necessary fee to cover all damage (would probably be a lot more than the deposit amount) what can he do? what can WE do? I don't mind paying extra for the damage in THEORY, provided I don't have to pay it in practice to make matters worse, the landlord is a relative of mine... and we do not have a rent agreement other than verbal...
  2. hiya! I popped on here after trying to get some info on rent deposit/property maintenance etc and noticed a few threads in this section on rossendales bailiffs.. thought I'd chime in with a positive (!!!) experience I had with them well, maybe not positive (at the end of the day I still had to pay up), but nothing like the stories some people have told I'd never dealt with bailiffs before, so I had no idea what to expect... (I always had a mental picture of big scary guys who come round and try to leave with your telly) long story short, I owed a fair bit of council tax... ignord it and hoped it'd all go away (it didn't). I got a letter through from rossendales bailiffs, giving me all the legal info, stating my rights etc I gave them a call and made arrangements to pay it in installments... they were really friendly, and didn't try to pressure me to pay more than I could afford am not trying to paint them 'whiter than white' but you've got to tell it like it is... I don't expect to be treated like a criminal for owing a few hundred quid council tax, and fair play rossendales, they didnt so that's my painless rossendales experience - not very exciting eh? anyone else had any dealings with them?
