As you may remember,we have two kids at Uni.Both renting property,well at the end of the term,both landlords have tried to get £230 and £130 out of both of them for cleaning and damage ?.
Seeing as Mr and Mrs Postman were part of the parents cleaning teams at the start and at the end of tenancy we questioned those costs.
First landlord in Edinburgh reduced his claim to £130 which after consultation with one mother who is a lawyer they paid £21 each and walked away.I think he was very lucky,and a t w t.
Now second landlord and letting agent in Manchester,a different matter.Mrs Postman was workiing through our son,feeding him lines to send in e mails,now we got it down by 50%,until today just 30 mins ago,they have told our Son NOTHING HAS TO BE REPAID.
Mrs Postmans last e mail via our son has made a massive difference.Mrs Postman demanded last years cleaning invoice and also wanted to know the age of the two sofas in the flat,plus last years cleaning invoice of said sofas.PLUS this nugget.After reading countless reviews about charging students and tenants for cleaning the flats,but to go and find the actual owners were cleaning their own properties before re letting,my wife was going to inform my union's legal team about this discrepancy.This has turned the whole matter on it's head and we are to be refunded the rest of the bond.A great result.
