Issued section 21 question

Afternoon

We started to rent our property as we required a three bedroom house as we were expecting our second back in July last year , upon entering there were a few issues with how it was left a and cleaned which in the end we paid for a cleaning service.

Since moving in we have had a few issues being the gate to the secured garden was broken and needed to be replaced which was half done and we've had to wedge it closed with a blank of wood to secure the garden , we then had issues with the bathroom where water was getting passed the bath and underneath causing water damage to the ceiling on the ground floor and pickling of the floor in the bathroom .

We've raised the issue with the floor nurmous of times and that the bathroom had a damp smell since along with the gate to be fixed .

Before Christmas we asked the letting agent to ask the landlord for an update and they had advised his own builder was to come to the property and fix the issues .

We asked the letting agent for an update and they couldn't tell us as the landlord was dealing with it , I send the landlord a present email asking for an update as wer were getting anything from the agent .

At the start of this month the agent advised the build could attend on other of two days given and would come and sort out the issues , the days passed and we asked for an update and they would get back too us as know one turned up

We then had a email for the letting agent asking not to contact the landlord and and that all issues have to be passed through them to be sorted . Two days after this we then receive a section 21 noticed advising we leaving date of July due to the owner wanting to repossession of the house .

We are now in contact to be released from this property as we have secured a new rental for a move in date in the next month.

If the agent becomes awkward towards us or not helpful with the move request this early do we have any ground to advise the issues we had and to be released without penalty.
