how much are u lookin at for sueing ur landlord, if any?
Well originally we were only sueing him to get the repairs done to the house so it was safe for my lil girl to be here n for us to touch the electrics n shit.
Landlord n estate agents (all nigerian) started being cunts n pissed me off so went to Environmental health and C.A.B and they reckon that if we qualify for legal aid under the new rules which came in in the last 2 months then it should be something like
£1600-4800 for failing to put our security deposit in an approved scheme
£0-5k for failing to keep the property habitable
£0-15k for " depriving a tenant of an expected right to a peaceful life in their own home because of the damages and therefore interrupting a persons right to live their life without undue harassment or alarm being caused kinda thing blah blah blah" (this is apparently very hard to prove)
£0-8/10k for other associated legal terms to do with all this shit that ya can sue for etc
Also we have not paid rent in just under a year so thats saved us £5250 (well about £1k as the rest would have been housing benefit)
Also EHO is gonna get the work done by their contractors n put as a land charge on the property until he pays so that will cost him bout £10k for the work that needs doing to the house then all the councils legal fees and admin charges etc on top
So all in all he is gonna get fucked to the tune of anywhere between £5k-50k for refusing to do works on the house that if they had been done when they were originally needed prob would have cost him about £4k
