My landlord changed a toilet unit and had to repair a part of bathroom wall due to the job back in February 2009. The landlord who is a self-employed interior decorator, fixed and put plasters on the wall himself and told me he would come back to paint the wall when the plasters got dried (dried a week later). In April he emailed me saying his self-employed job was very busy but would come to paint the wall when his job hit a slack period. I thought he could arrange another decorator to paint the wall if he could not do himself. He has had his over 2 weeks holiday in June. I have been paying full rent with the unfinished bathroom wall for 5 months. Would it be possible to claim rent reduction for these months? If so how much I should claim from £420 monthly rent? Could you please give me your advice. Thank you.
