Ex tenant problem
Discussion
Hi all looking for legal advice regarding an ex tenant ,my solicitor has not been very helpful in the matter .
Tenant was in 18months ago and at the time the property was owned by myself and sister,around that time sister was wanting bought out so we thought we would have to sell so notice was given.
In the end I bought sister out and kept property on I told tenant she could stay as long as she wanted.
I was always having to get electrician up as she treated the place like a Chinese laundry and kept tripping storage heaters with drying clothes on them them said house was damp and got council up who said it was condensation from her drying clothes with no ventilation.
So I'm not sad to see the back of her
The tenant had decorated the house and got solicitor involved and came to a figure of £600 that we should pay for decorating costs.
I have re billed a figure of £100 for replacing lock as she held onto keys for 2 weeks after her handover day
My solicitor said just to pay it as it more hassle than its worth.
Thanks for you help in advance

I had hoped they had forgotten about it but low and behold an email from my solicitor today asking about it.
yes i believe he is being lazy.
she was told she could decorate the house,I was going to get someone in to do it but she wanted to do it herself.
she is on legal aid so its not costing her a penny with solicitor.
she was a pain in the backside when she was in the house,but if anything needed doing it was done within 48hrs as it always is.
cheers for the input

The house was due for decoration after previous tenant left and i was going to do it myself and she asked if she could do it in her own colours as i was just going to go magnolia all over.
There was nothing ever put in writing,she was even trying to get me to pay for a carpet that she put down that was never agreed to as nothing wrong with what was down.
After i bought my sister out she was told that she could stay and have as long a lease as she wanted but she declined and moved,probably for the best anyway.
cheers

Re lock : i used to be in the trade and a good lock insnt cheap ...buy cheap buy twice plus fitting,any locksmith would charge that once you have to call them out.
The painting was just to freshen it up it was by no means run down,my tenant i have now is very happy.
Im still waiting on receipts as i wont pay anything without them.
