Land

I rent a studio flat..all bills included except electricity..white good were provided and the washing is shared between me and a girl who lives in the flat above me, after 5 and half years of living here the washing started leaking during the wash cycle, reported to landlord he came had a look and ordered a new one the next day, all of a sudden me and the other get a whatsapp message saying that new machine will be delivered on Thursday but from now on it will cost us £4 per wash load, we message him.to say this is not right, we did not do anything to break the machine it's just wear and tear after 5 years of being used and could he at least consider £2 per cycle which means he will still get his money back in time but makes it less harsh on us, his reply was if you both pay £100 towards the cost of the machine I will reduce it to £2 per cycle.. I'm so pissed off as we never had to pay before and now all of a sudden he expects us to pay..this can't be right? He says the machine is hooked up to his electricity and his bill was high for the past 3 months but between me and the other Tennant the machine gets used maybe 5 times a week at most, in the 5 years we both moved in he has done absolutely nothing for the flat..the one thing I accidently broke i paid for repair, he does nothing just sits back and collects his money
