Landlord and maintenence costs
Hi, we moved in recently to our villa, we had to find somewhere quick as we ran out of time moving out of our old place, and found there was a nice villa going for a 6 month lease (to give us some more villa hunting time) at a really good price, we got the price down a bit to something that seemed decent for only 6 months, but when we moved in didn't realise so much maintenance needed fixing; the tap outside had been stolen so we replaced it, we ran out of water on day 3 and realised the pump in the garden had been broken all along not allowing water to come through so we had actually used up the last of the water in the tank!, paid for this to be fixed too, there was also a dewa bill leftover form previous tenant, washing machine had parts/ pumps missing we had to buy and then pay for it to be fixed up. All in all of course it didn't cost us the earth but it cost a fair little amount for us to fix this, and it's mainly principle really that we moved in (for only 6 months!!) and nothing worked! We also paid for the cooker to be set up, but I believe this is more our problem fitting that in so we didn't send the bill for that...now the landlord is refusing the reimburse us because we asked for a discount on our rent, didn't really ask for a discount we just negotiated as normal! Is there anyone we can call and dispute? Or is there nothing we can do just accept it now? Just out of principles as it took us so much effort to get the place up and running and we will be out soon!
