This was an unfortunate case, as the previous tenants to 'Kim' had to leave under duress, having failed to make their rental payments, also as Kim says they did not alert us to the damp problem.

I do take such issues personally, this being our own business, and we acted as quickly as the business allows when ...

They also sent me a admin bill when i rented with them. I contacted my landlord and didnt have to pay it. I would never rent with them again. They took 495 bond off me at the begining. I left the house clean when i left, but they asked me to get the carpets professionaly cleaned when i left. I told them where to go, as the carpets were dirty when i moved in! Also my boiler didnt work when they handed me the keys so therefore could not move in, yet they were taking my rent. I rung up and co ...
