    Hi Folks,

    Maybe more of a law type question this time but here goes:

    I agreed to rent my house to the council more than 6 months ago, rent was agreed and I have a letter confirming both parties agreed the rent for said amount.
    Now 6 months have passed because the bank messed me around with paperwork (not my fault at all). The council have the paperwork and I have brought the house up to current building regs and ready for the council to take over at a cost of over 1000 euro. However the council have said that rents have decreased in the time span and have offered me a new amount near 20% less than before.

    My question is, can they do this? (well they just have). But should the written agreement not stand until the contract is signed or can they just change their mind at any time?

    I must admit I would not be asking this question if the percentage drop was not so dramatic.
