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?

It is absolutely not your problem. Get the keys back him ASAP. If you don't have his address or you are too far away message him to say you are posting the keys back to the flat.

I'd just tell her you have no legal right to be entering the property as your tenancy ended 2 months ago. You also have no right to be turning heating on as you are no longer the bill payer.

Simple reply "Hi, I not longer live there, this is the landlords number XXXXXX if you would like to contact them directly"

Can you not just put the keys back through the letterbox? Your tenancy ended 8 weeks ago

@JJLA she said it was my “duty” to sort it, so I feel like a bitch/responsible if I just ignore it.

How is it your 'duty', you left 3 months ago! Why are you still in contact if you have moved on and have your deposit back? Ignore and block

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

This!

Return the keys to the LL via recorded delivery. Have no reason for anyone to contact you. They will otherwise try to pin any damage on you, even though you've moved out and no post tenancy inspection took place.
