[QUOTE="Mr Sworld, post: 3227, member: 184"] Well surprise, surprise. Did you rent the place recently? Is your deposit held by a third party as recently came in by law? I hope so because it gives you a fighting chance. Write to the landlord via a recorded letter stating the problems with your electrics. In it say that if the problem is not solved by him/her within 30 days you will get an electrician in yourself. State in the letter that you will charge the cost to him/her. Putting it in writing will shake most landlords into action as you have proof (due to the recorded/signed for letter) of complaint. They cannot take it out of your deposit as the third party has to adjudicate on yours and the landlords behalf and you have written evidence that you informed the landlord and gave reasonable time (30 days) for them to fix the problem. I've rented for a long time until recently and the amount of crap I've had off landlords and unreasonable withholds of deposit was unbelievable! It's time the tables were turned against these b@stards (sorry Welsh/Admin's and moderators, but that word is justifiable!) When I moved down to the south I was given no choice but to stump up [/QUOTE]
