Letting agent ignoring issues

[Wilse5]

Where do i stand ?

 

Letting agent let previous tennant leave house disgrace, i move in e mail the next day with safety issues and windows broken, they say they will have someone contact me, they dont, three months later still nothing, do i have the right to cancel the tenancy and move on without penalties ?

Make sure everything is logged and photographed.

Give proper notice on writing with full reasons - but near in mind that they won't give you a reference

yes I have logged with them the day after the start of the tenancy, again they ignored this and also voiced my concerns again in an e mail to their directors the following week. They again ignored this, said that the hadn't received it then in the same conversation mentione something i had only brought up in the e mail itself, joke really. Do i have the right to cancel on these terms without them being able to hold me to the full 6 month period ?

sorry bit new to renting and not sure of my rights regarding this, all i wanted was these safety issues like an uncovered power socket in the kitchen to have a new cover on it, basic safety issues, ive lost faith in them now and want out

Did you see any safety certificates by the letting agent before you moved in? I thought they where meant to give you copies?

The only things they gave me were the gas certsnothin else

Only GSC & EPC need to be shown to T.

So far OP has only mentioned broken electric socket and window as safety issues. I doubt either are sufficient to repudiate the contract, (unlike gaping hole in roof or exposed asbestos imsulation). Both are easily repaired by T with cost claimed from LL, or rent with due Notice.
