Hi all, recently moved into a (furnished) rented flat which is owned by the landlord but let and managed by one of the big estate agents. Basically the previous Tennant has left a load of rubbish in the flat, all broken and/or dirty. We don't have a car to take to the tip and it is large items which can't be broken down and put in the household rubbish such as a metal clothes maiden, large picture frame, 3 double duvets etc. There is loads of stuff and it is taking up all of our storage space, the agency and landlord are refusing to remove it but are happy for us to dispose of it in any way we see fit but I just don't know how to get rid of it? I have looked at bulky waste collection via the council but they charge over £50 for a max of 5 items and we would need 3-4 collections to get rid of all this stuff.
Who is right here? I feel that it should be down to the landlord or agency to dispose of what is essentially rubbish left by the previous tennant but maybe IABU?
