Hi,
I have recently moved into a house that is having issues with its power and internet. The issues have been ongoing for 3 weeks prior to my moving in and dont appear to be being resolved anytime soon. I am considering moving out as I feel this is a breach of the basic tenancy agreement and is a health and safety issue if the power is intermitant. The agreement signed was for 15 weeks and I am currently 4 days into this. So I have some questions:
Am I legally entitled to cancel the tenancy agreement if there is a fundamental lack of service being provided that should be included?
Am I entitled to a refund of the bond that I have provided?
If these issues are resolved there is also a question I have with regards to the bond going to the Department of Building and Housing to be kept safe in the case of a dispute. We are not tennants, but boarders in a house with a number of other people. We have been told as a result of this that the agency does not have to forward the bond. Is this true?
Thanks in advance for any advice as I am a little worried about the agency in question. Hopefully someone will be able to put my mind at ease, but I have a feeling I might be in for some legal difficulties...
