Last week I moved out of a property. The tenancy doesn’t end until next month so no final inspection has been done yet.
This is quite long but please bear with.
A few weeks ago I told my LL my usual cleaner was doing my end of tenancy clean. He said he was looking for a good cleaner and would I recommend her? I asked her if she was looking to take on new clients and she said yes, so with her permission I passed on her number.
Anyway he has been texting my cleaner about my end of tenancy clean saying this isn’t done and that isn’t done. He shouldn’t have been doing this anyway as she was employed by me, not him. Anyway he’s said that certain things are dirty. I have pictures that my cleaner sent last week after she did the end of tenancy clean to prove that they are, or were, clean.
This isn’t all however. He said last week he was having the place redecorated and there have been contractors in painting. Clearly they have dirtied things and he now expects my cleaner to go and clean again.
This is a breach of contract surely? He has interfered with the state of the property before the final inspection was conducted so the inspection is now meaningless?
AIBU to tell him the condition of the property is no longer my responsibility and demand my deposit back in full as he has breached the terms of the contract?
