16 Wellington Crescent

This in my opinion was a terrible experience. I have not felt welcome at this flat due to the flea presence which I believe were there prior my arrival. I had no fleas prior my arrival (I have a letter from my previous rented flat), nor any skin problems as my medical records show.

At my arrival at the property (Flat 4) I have received bites on my back while sitting on the sofa and sleeping in bed. Kent pest control identify fleas in the flat. I suffer from skin rashes, urticaria. I have moved into a hotel and try to find another place to stay. I signed a six months contract and I was liable for another 5 mounts rent. I have asked permission to leave however this was not accepted without payment of the 5 months rent. however not a price I was willing to pay. This case went to court. From the total of 3375£ my opponent claimed, 1000£ was deducted as part of my counterclaim. I found it difficult to convince the judge that living in a flat where fleas were found was rather difficult. My opponent implied that I could have bought the fleas myself in transit. However for what I know pets are not allowed on flights. The agent informed me that the landlord is a cat owner. There was also some issues with my terminology. I am not a native speaker. The judge said that my infestation word was not correct an infestation is a large number and the pest controller said he only saw 3 fleas. I said I am allergic to flea bites but the judge said none of my doctors stated that in the letters I provided as evidence of flea bites. I did not have my bill electricity with me and the judge though I am exaggerating in my counterclaim with the amount. I had pay ca 800£ electricity over a period of 4 months, due to washing all my clothes at 90 degrees. From the total of 3375£ that my opponent was claiming 1000£ was deducted as part of my counterclaim and I had to pay my opponent court fees. In total I pay ca 4335£ this includes first month rent and my deposit for a flat in which I lived 2 weeks. In addition to this I had to pay hotels, dermatologist, skin care products. This was a very unpleasant experience for me that left me with a bitter hearth.
