Hello,
I have just moved out a rental property where I lived for 3 years with my family. The relationship with the LL really soured as we had rats on the premises for 3 years. This is documented in WhatsApp, email photos and we complained to the council.
I am seeing if I can get a solicitor to represent us no win no fee but haven’t found anyone yet. I have however spoken to a journalist who is going to do a story on the situation. The rats on the house etc is well documented so I am not concerned about this. There was several rat nests in the garden. This was confirmed verbally by pest control. Parts of the garden where the rats lived were very overgrown when we moved in and I have a video to this effect. The landlady however maintained that we were responsible for the garden as per the lease.
The previous tenant has confirmed that they saw rats in the garden and we saw rats there within 3 months of moving in.
I want the article to note that the nests are in the garden so as the neighbours and future tenants know and don’t have to go through what we went through. I am wondering if I am opening myself up to any claims by mentioning the garden specifically.
Thanks
