Pet insurance but organised by the landlord and paid by the tenant. The cost to be determined before the signing of the tenancy so that the tenant can agree to the additional cost. The landlord has to organise and pay...
Yes. We have a flat EPC D. Again - we ran through numerous scenarios. The only way of moving from D to C was external insulation (not allowed as in conservation area) or installing gas. (The flat was fully electric!
In my opinion - unless you have landlord insurance willing to pay for the dispute you will have to pay up. The judge won't care about how unfair it is and certainly won't be looking at how unreasonable the request...
