House Move

Name changed as might be too revealing

i am posting here for advice really and traffic as I have searched online and I am finding nothing (any landlords that see this would be a bonus)

so I am moving house soon there is a floor board under my carpet on my landing that has became loose and subsequently fell under the floor boards. Last inspection I did tell my landlord about it among other things and he sort of just shrugged it off and in a roundabout way asked me to get it fixed. I genuinely haven’t had the money to have it fixed myself.

bit of a back story so not to drip feed, before I moved in I took the house on knowing I had to decorate as it was bare plaster and carpet the upstairs and stairs as there was none down. A couple of weeks before moving in he had still quite a bit of furniture left in here he asked me to sell for him and get rid of so I could move in. This was my first time private renting so I stupidly went along with it. During the process he did mention a couple of times he was getting a couple of floor boards fixed upstairs one on the landing and one in the main bedroom. I don’t want to assume he didn’t but now this has happened.

obviously like I have said I am moving out in a few weeks and the new tenant has purchased the carpets off me as I would of taken them with me so now I don’t know if I am expected to pull the carpet up fix the floor board and have the c/m carpet out back down again??

side note my tenancy agreement wasn’t like a normal agreement you would normally get it was a paragraph written out by himself and printed out, with nothing like this detailed.

any advice would be great thank you for reading

Floorboards not your responsibility obviously

did he register your deposit?

bwr he didn’t - if so you’re in luck! Call shelter and/or citizens advice for advice

and educate yourself about yours rights - you should have entered jnto such an arrangement!

Thank you for your reply, I have read through the shelter website, I haven’t actually contacted them though so I will do this.

I did find that the building was his responsibility but was just with him asking me to fix it in a round about way that he may withhold the deposit because I hadn’t.

thanks again

Has he given you info on the deposit and where it’s registered?

Yes he gave me the information when I moved in and told me when I gave him my notice. I also took photos band videos of the house before I moved in and decorated and also the same once I had decorated
