Can I exit my tenancy agreement early because of disrepairs?
I want to end my fixed 6 month term AST immediately (Within a few days of signing) - due to the kitchen falling apart completely. In addition, the agent and I signed BEFORE they issued a gas safety certificate. What can I do?
Public Answer
Thank you for your enquiry.
It appears that you may have a case under implied disrepair legislation and landlords’ duties during a tenancy. There may also be elements of misrepresentation if the landlord or agents omitted or provided misleading information on the condition of the property.
