Hello,
I have recently signed a Dependent Temporary Agreement for a Max Duration of 24 months.
However, the house is still in a state of being under construction i.e. no kitchen installed, half finished walls (awaiting plaster/paint), bathroom does not have a working extractor fan so a tad unhygienic.
All work is allegedly to be completed soon, but I was expecting this done by the day I received the keys property; but it wasn't done and I was in a bind so had to accept it as it was on the promise work would be completed within one week.
It has now been over a week; but still nothing has been changed.
I am paying €650 and the calculator gives a Points based score of €250. So I intend in time to go to HC, but I am wondering if I can also apply for a reduction based on defects?
Of course I need to be careful as the landlord also lives here (but it is very much like a slum rn). How do I prove there are, is pictures and videos enough? Should I send him a written message?
Also to complicate things, must I apply for HC within 6 months? Or can I live here for longer then bring proceedings afterwards. The HC website indicates there is nuance to temporary rentals but I can't find a good explanation on their website.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
