However he will be entitled to at least some compensation. <br /><br />It may be that a local firm of solicitors will be prepared to take the case on, on a 'no win no fee' basis. You will want a firm that does landlord and tenant/housing work. Many firms do an initial free interview where you can talk to them about it. Its worth a try!Tessa Sheppersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661168506904640975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22617683.post-37489669599699410962009-08-03T14:35:16.259+01:002009-08-03T14:35:16.259+01:00My 20 year old son rented a purpose built flat wit...My 20 year old son rented a purpose built flat with a friend. After 3 months they realised that the bedrooms were infested with bed bugs. The contractor who was sent by the Letting Agency said they had definitely been there before my son started the tenancy. Although the Letting Agency have let him out of the lease one month early and refunded his deposit in full(I should think so!!). I feel that they are fobbing him off about getting part of his rent refunded. Both lads ended up sleeping in the living room for months. He also had to throw away an expensive duvet, speakers & a computer chair. He doesn't want me to get involved with the Letting Agency. Can anyone point him in the right direction to getting some money back? Many thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
