Am renting a house short term while our new one is being renovated. Dishwasher not been great since we moved in in Feb. Got fed up with it by April and asked the letting agent to arrange for an engineer to come and fix it. There were lots of emails back and forth - mainly me chasing and her saying she needed to check with the landlord and get the OK from him etc. Eventually and engineer comes and fixes it - works beautifully and very happy. I've just received an invoice from the letting agent saying that I have to pay for it! I never thought in a million years that it would be our responsibly for general wear and tear and also her 'checking with the landlord' very much suggests that he is covering the cost, no? I called her to explain that I don't think we should pay and she was very bolshy and said its our reponsibility. Even though the engineers report sites lime scale buildup as the main cause. We move out in a week so there's no way I'd have got it serviced if I was aware of have to pay. Am I BU? How shall I word a response to let her know that we are not paying? (That is if you think we are not BU!). Thanks all
