Genuinely Would IBU?

[MontyDonnsgirl]

We have rented our house since October last year. Our LL insisted that we have a gardener come every 2 weeks at a cost of £56 per month. This was added to the rent. The gardener turned out not to exist and a new one was appointed and has shown up 3 times ( £28 a go).
The LL would skin a flea for its hide. She's hiked the rent once already and we wanted to extend our tenancy for another 6onths but she said she would only do an 8 month extension, and only if we pay an addition £600 a month over the original rent. She has notions about our financial position.

Anyway, we have found another house, it's great but the garden is heavily overgrown with woody stuff. WIBU to get our current gardener to go to the new place and attack the garden? We pay the LL and she pays him btw.

Nope

Read thread more'n once, still can't quite grasp the whys and wherefores so I am going to say Good Luck

Nevertheless, your insurance contract must be in the utmost good faith, and if you follow your fraudulent (and yes, it is fraudulent) scheme to get a gardener paid to do one thing by one party to do another without the permission of the paying party, you risk invalidating your whole insurance policy from the date of your fraud. And being personally liable for the rent.

I sincerely hope that is not the landlord's real name.

Of course it's not his real name. For goodness sake!

Anyway to recap, the balance of what was paid for the gardener can go towards returfing and delapidations and we won't ask them to come to the new house, as it already comes with a gardener. Sorted no?

In that case OP, enjoy your garden(s) !

I would deduct the money paid for non-existent gardening from anything she bills you for when leaving
