I said it before and I'll say it again.

There's no reason not to charge on your lpa security settlement statement for the expenses you had to endure no matter whether you did them yourself or not.

Some might tell you you can not charge for work you did yourself because if contested in court, work done yourself may not be upheld without receipts from a 3rd party contractor.

So, it would only become a problem for you if you had to go to court to try to enforce/defend the deductions.
Most tenants who know they are wrong don't take it to court.

You are replying to the above.
