Q: I have been compensated by my tenants for leaving my property in an unsatisfactory state, and I am wondering if I also able to claim against the letting agents as well.
A: It seems very unlikely that you will be able to claim against another third party if you have already been compensated under the rule of double recovery.
I have been told by a tenant that a door is damaged. They are stating that the builders did it but the builders are saying that it was the tenant that did this. Damp proofers were in the property and the tenants claim the door was damaged by them moving things in the property. However, the damp proofers are stating that it was in a bad state to begin with and they didn’t damage it more. The managing agents state they were not aware of any damage beforehand. What should I do about this situation?
