What agent could do to change your mind?
Absolutely nothing. They behaved deceitfully and are clearly either uninformed of the existence of tenants' rights or attempting to exploit the possibility that the tenant isn't aware of his/her rights. This is a perfect example of why LAs need to be regulated.

I have had such a bad experience with Dexters. I too found them rude, cocky and arrogant and the best was I was speaking to the Director. The final straw was when they took off rent when I had left the place already. So I am £800 short until 3-5 working days when they reverse the monies. Lying and changing their story about Early Leaving fees, which they charged me £394. Yet Someone move in there straight away. No one lost out, except me. Also dealing with at least 5 people and all 5 trying ...

Thank you for your generic reply (yes, I did look at replies to other comments) - as we have already asked who to complain to and your name/email address was not the one given, we can only assume that either; a) Dexters have finally realised they have too big an issue to keep fobbing people off via individual offices, so have employed a central person to do this so their other email addresses are not clogged with complaints..... b) you are only rolled out when complaints are logged on a pub ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
After two year experience really nothing the agent can do to change my mind. Dont go for Square Mile. They are apathetic paperwork creaters who complete disregard to your comfort. They want to create papers, invoices, meetings rather than actually fixing the issue. You can send them as many emails, photos, issues etc, they have only one objective - Billing. How to create maximum revenue from tenant and landlord. Billing is their only objective.
