medichi Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Having just moved to Glasgow and into rented accomodation for the first time in several years, I was after some advice - the washing machine here is EASILY 20 years old. We asked for it to be replaced before we moved in, but the landlord said no. It'snow done two loads and packed in - how loing is reasonable to wait for the landlord to fix it, and can I withold rent legally until he does?

Guest Steven Dedalus Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 If it is in the tenancy agreement, then you can withold rent until it is replaced. Your best option is to go to the citizen's advice bureau, who will be able to advice you on your rights.I work on a consumer affairs radio programme, so this kind of thing is my bread and butter, so to speak.
