A reader asked for some advice on a matter of a flat that was unlivable. I am not a practising lawyer and cannot give legal advice but here is some general information.
If the lender of a flat promises to do something before you move in, get it in writing. There is an implied term in rental of accomodation that the accomodation is fit for human habitation. If the smell from the flat is very strong, can you prove that.
If the agent is taking commision from you, then it is arguable that the agent has duties to protect your interests. There is also a chance to take legal action against not only the agent but the agent's company as well since the license is issued to the company and agents must be attached to a company.
If your matter is minor, you want to consider using the Small Claims Tribunal.
For this, please see my blog - http://smallclaimsg.blogspot.com/.
