Thanks Peter and Kath. I want to know one more general thing. If the landlord has contracted something and given a responsibility to the agent to maintain something, e.g. mowing of lawns every month. And the yardsman fails to turn up for a few days because of his personal reasons and a...

Thanks Skater. I know you are right. I'm just trying to take the path of minimum resistance till my primary concern is addressed.
