I have received a letter from a solicitor where my old

Further it is likely there was an agreement between you and the tenant to carry out repairs to defective parts in the premises.

Do you understand what I have stated, if so I will proceed onto steps to consider.

In order to defend the claim you need to consider the following

• Contact your insurance to see if you covered and they can deal.
• In the meantime you need to gather all repairs logs carried out in the property because the law states you need to be put on notice about such a defect
• In gathering such information I suggest you contact your estate agents to see if the alleged damage was reported to them and what they did about it

If you dont have insurance then go to your local solicitors to review the court documents(if any) to protect your position and prevent a CCJ

Good question

The law states reasonable depends on the type of damage caused and what part of the building is damaged. Therefore if it was a damage that required emergency repairs then 2 days is arguably too late

However if damage didn't require emergency repairs then you can argue that repairs arrangement were being made.

However it can also be argued that the agency were aware of the defect before the tenants notified them if they can prove you and or the agency visit the property

To do other repairs and thus should have been aware of it

Do you understand what I have stated?

If not please let me know I will explain parts you don't understand

Thanks for the rating.

You can potentially bring a counter claim for unpaid rent and damage you believe that was caused by the tenants

You will need to provide evidence of the damage I.e pictures before the property was rented and picturep after they left

Further you will invoices to prove the amount paid or to pay to rectify the damage

Further you will need invoices to prove the amount paid or to pay to rectify the damage

No problem and all the best
