Reaching out to landlords in Luton LU3
We are a family of 3, working professionals in the Luton LU3 area. 
We have to move in a rush because the long term let we signed up to with an agent 18 months ago has been rudely and abruptly ended before we have had the chance of even finishing unpacking.
The agency did not use a TDS and have become increasingly belligerent.
The most important elements we are looking for in a new home are space and a garden. We have our own cooker, washing machine, drier, fridge, freezer, curtains, blinds and some other furniture so we won’t be too much of a burden on a landlord who is looking at renting and is bogged down with costs of furnishing and refitting kitchens with these newfangled shackled to the worktop cookers.
Thanks
Gee

Please note I’m not an insurance agent!
On annual renewal of insurance we all have to declare that there have been no instances of claims that have gone unreported.
Surely you should report the incident to your insurer and then let them sort it out with the landlord’s insurers. If the landlord fails to have insurance then at least your items are replaced/dealt with and your insurer is happy that you have reported all claims.
The avenue of court is always open to you to pursue the landlord for losses including the increase in insurance premium to put you into a position you would have been in prior to the incident.
If the landlords property is mortgaged but not insured he will be in breach of the terms on his mortgage.
