I don't think 'legal' s quite the right term but I'm not quite sure how best to word it.
So basically we got the house in August and began paying rent in september-we moved in then as well. When we moved in one of the bedrooms was slightly damp and we were told it would be sorted. Two weeks ago a guy came to see whether it was still damp on the walls (it had got worse) and he picked some of the wallpaper off to try and locate the source of damp. We were ten given a dehumidifier for the room- worked but still lots of damp. Now nothing else has been done- we've contacted the estate agents and they've said what they PLAN to do (e'g' ripping out the shower which is apparently the source) but they have given no start time etc. Where do we stand on this? The bedroom is barely habitable, clothes are damp and the room stinks.
Many thanks if you've read all of my confusing waffle and or if you can give any advice
