having never rented anywhere I'm not sure how this bit works so would appreciate some advice.

Mum moved into a HH sheltered flat. before we moved her in HH did a "refurb" ( in the loosest terms, I can plaster better than it was left. ) and appears they cut the BT line that leads from outside to the main box as it went through teh kitchen they were fitting new units into. Now its a condition of the tenancy that a line is there for the alarm blip but BT have said there may be a charge of 128 quid to fix it ( now where they reckon a basic callout should cost 128 quid is a different matter!!!). As this was effectively a deliberate act can we pass teh bill on to HH or do we have to pick up their mess?

Any advice gratefully received.
