I’ve name changed for this as some family know my normal username and I don’t want to discuss this yet but I’m needing a bit of advice from somewhere.
Briefly, Ds (18) is working hundreds of miles from home. He was staying in a B&B initially and needed somewhere to rent quickly. He viewed a couple of properties on a dark wet afternoon with the electricity off and chose the best of the two thinking he would seek permission to have it painted etc. at his own cost. He has signed a lease, paid a deposit, one months rent and utilities up front. He just got the keys and in daylight, it is far worse than he realised. Spiders, wood lice, mouse droppings doors not closing and goodness only knows what else. What should he do about this or did he “accept it as seen”. Do they have to make good? How easy/difficult would it be to get out of the lease?
Thanks for any advice.
