Q1:

Evicting Tenants

The bailiffs are due to evict my tenant in a few days, and I have been advised by my solicitor that I can deduct all his costs and court costs from the deposit. My tenant insists its only the court costs. What can or can't I deduct?

Q2:

Furniture & Fittings Maintenance / Repairs

My window has been broken for 10 months. Despite multiple e-mails to letting agency and landlord my window has not been repaired. What are my options?

Q3:

Garden Maintenance / Repairs In Rentals
