Right. Update time.

Landlord finally came around tonight.

He bought a tenancy around and started to say houses around the area are worth £675-£700 to which I said yes because they are worth it. I said me and my partner are happy at £650. He then produced a tenancy to say £650 but dated 27th July 2016 which I thought it would be.

But more on that in a bit. I went on to the back payment and made sure he knew we was not paying anything he thinks we owed as it was not our fault and only his fault for bringing it around late. He then said (This is his way of saying you are right but I will make out I done you a favour) I have spoke to my family and we will forget about the money owed. I just left it at that.

I then asked him to amend the dates on the contract to the next payment date and made him sign them. He was reluctant to do this but did so in the end.

So to summarize we are not back paying, rent increase of £50 a month and for another 12 months.

Just like to thank everyone for your help and hopefully this is the end of it as we are looking to move next year.
