There may or may not be a substantial gap between posts again soon, as we may or may not have to move again. It turns out to be rather bad form to request compensation, or a rent refund, if you have to live in a house that has flooded, has no electric, and requires months of building work. Although the landlord claims he is evicting us as it's the end of our 6 month contract, and we wanted to go on a rolling month-by-month contract, instead of signing up for another 6 months, I suspect it's more to do with trying to evade paying us anything.Makes me really mad since he's contractually obliged to refund some of our rent - you wouldn't order fish and chips and be expected to pay for chips even if you didn't receive any. Paying rent on a property that wasn't in the condition we signed the contract is tantamount to the same thing. What a complete tool.
We are finding out if he will let us stay on if we agree to sign on for another 6 months, at least that would give us more time to find somewhere else to live.
Grr and aarg and all that jazz.

Oh Lainey! I can't believe the rotten luck you've had with renting. You should seek legal advice about the compensation. Hope you don't have to moave again so soon.
*move* typo :-)
I dunno, we might have more luck with moaveing!
We're looking into what we can do with the compensation, although we're focusing more on finding somewhere to live at the moment!
Seriously can't wait till we're able to buy our own place - having to move all the time is ploughing our deposit saving :/
