Hi I wonder if anyone would be able to give me some advice on a renting issue please.
Moved into 2 bed terrace, signed 6 month rental contract with EA's. As soon as we started living in propert it became apparent that the windows were inadequate both in terms of noise protection and draught prevention. There's a carpark right outside the front of the house and get woken up at 5am each day with people starting cars.
The wooden frames on the windows are rotten and extremely draughty, we have a 14 month old daughter so this is a concern for us.
I wrote to the estate agents, they wrote to the landlord, landlord wrote saying he plans to put double glazing in at some point but not in the short term as he can't afford to.
Noticed today there is a 2 bed semi, with double glazing just 100metres away, up for long term rent for just an extra £25 a month ontop of what we're paying now, gutted. We have 4 months left on our contract at the current place.
Any suggestions on whether we would be able to leave the property early without losing our deposit ? trouble with renting is I gurantee when the contracts up in 4 months there won't be any other decent properties available.
