Our washing machine (furnished rented house) has not been working since the 20th of August.
Someone was sent round to fix it - they looked at it, said they needed a part, and said they would come back.
I don't know if they did come back or not (agency has keys, all this took place while we were at work) but it's not fixed.
I've been emailing on a weekly basis saying "this is still not fixed, please can you fix it?".
What do you think? Should I say that we don't think we should pay full rent for the month that is has been out of action? And if so what kind of discount should we try to go for?
I know a washing machine is not as vital as, say, hot water or heating in winter, but the house was rented as furnished and the washing machine is listed on the inventory as a thing that should be present and working.
