That's fair, Harry. Does that apply here? My thoughts would be 'No' but maybe it does.
What would the definition of uninhabitable mean here? We were flooded to a depth of about 1 metre at the beginning of the month. We cleaned this mess up including the landlord's furniture. She never even bothered to call to check the damage.

She kept the deposit and the rent for the 19 or 20 days we did not stay. It's not a lot of money but I just want to know what I'm entitled to exactly. I know the answer would probably be sweet f.a. but maybe not
