Good morning, all. I've been renting for most of the last 20 years (about 6 or 7 rental leases). Over the years I've heard all the complaints about tenants doing things that breaks leasing contracts. And i can understand how landlords react, in most cases, as they seek compensation for things like breakages, disappearing tenants and so on.
But what happens when a landlord breaks their contractual obligations? At what materiality level does the break need to be entitle the tenant to both break the lease and seek compensation? In all this time, I've never had issues with either the landlord or the agent before, as we treat our apartment as if it was ours, pay our rent and generally don't ever hear from anyone over the rental term. However, it's been a battle from day 1, in fact day -3, and terribly disappointing.
