I am BU, and a bitch!

We moved house 2 months ago. The old landlord was rubbish-I mainly had to fix things myself, as the property was part of a portfolio and he lived “too far away” to come and fix them, but wouldn’t pay for contractors.

I left the property clean and in good condition, and had the carpets cleaned before we left. The landlord still has not organised collecting my keys, but has his own set.

The neighbour has been texting me saying that the whole house is dripping in condensation and needs airing and the heating putting on, or the inside will mould, and that I need to get in touch with the landlord and go and heat and air it.

AIBU to think this isn’t my problem any more? We were at that house 3 years, it caused nothing but problems, and I am so glad to be rid of it. We never once missed a rental payment and kept it in good repair, so am I ok to see my duty as discharged?

Has your tenancy actually ended? Or is your post missing some vital information? I wrote my post assuming that the tenancy had ended

Just text her back saying your tenancy's ended
Simple

Not your problem.

Just give her your LL’s number and tell her to contact him.

And why are you a bitch? Did your neighbour call you one?

Have you had your deposit back? If you are financially free and clear then I wouldn't even think about it. Surely if your tenancy is ended you would be breaking in to go back now anyway? Tell her to text the landlord

Have you had your deposit back? Has the tenancy formally ended? If that's the case this is literally nothing at all to do with you. If you were feeling kind, you could email the landlord and let him know, or give the neighbour his details so they can communicate directly. But this is none of your business, assuming your tenancy has ended.

Send them the owners number and tell them you're not longer their neighbour.

We have just left a property much worse.. I predict by the time she sees the place the kitchen ceiling will have come down again. It's not my problem.. She sent 2 pissed lads to plaster it one December... They hadn't a clue..

Give her the landlords number and say she can contact him directly.

Your old neighbour sounds strange. Just remind them you don’t live there any more so it’s not your problem.
