| On your side, fix all the problems, get a proffesional painter to fill in the wall holes where you hung the pictures, clean all the carpets. Take plenty of photos.
Don't pay the rent, and turn up at the handover but don't sign anything. Ask him for your deposit in cash immediately, if he refuses, then show him you have photos, don't sign anything and walk out. If he gives you the money, you can then pay the rent. | |

If you're incapable of cleaning a carpet or filling a few holes in a wall then a professional should be able reliive you of a large bundle of cash.
As for insisiting the landlord pays your deposit in cash, this is total crap. They don't even have free access to it as it's in a bank account and both have to sign to get it back or you wait for 1 year.
and if you do not pay the rent, you leave yourself wide open to eviction.
As you have lived here over 20 years Ittigen, you really should know better that this by now, you post is very inaccurate.
