First of all, I have no idea who Martin Lambert and James Mearman are. But it really does not matter.
I meant to put 0 star but could not.
Anyway, they won't be amazed to read that review and I think they did everything they could to earn it. Nothing personal.
In august 2015 we signed a 3 years lease. Events in life made that we had to leave the country after only 18 months. SO we gave two months notice to Snellers.
We signed a contract stipulating that should we break the lease before the end date we had to pay 8% of the remaining rent (8% of 18 months rent in the area, I let you imagine).
This is already a decadent rule, but Snellers and the landlord are in their rights and we signed for this insane thing.
Eveything is set up to protect the landlord while WE, tenants, are funding Snellers. But then the problem starts. Of course if they do not find new tenants on time we are still responsible for the rent. The landlord wanted to redecorate the house. So they probably imagine that we could still pay the rent
while they redecorate the house. Why not ? unh ?
But the problem in that is that they insolently lied to the viewers. We have solid proofs about that. They told the viewers the house would be available one month after we leave.
We initially thought that well if they want to redecorate they want us to be gone for sure and we wouldn't pay the rent. This is only logic.
But no ! They made us pay the rent and we had to go. So we paid.
A few days after Nancy Kearney naively emailed us that she went to the property and got the keys back. How foolish ! She basically told us she went to the property without
any permission from us. We were still responsible of the property. Of course then the director or should I say the professional liar, took over the discussion and threatened us that
if they didn't redecorate the house while we are still paying the rent the new tenants would not move in and our tenancy would roll over.
AHAHAHH how ironic is that! So that was their plan from the beginning. Make us pay, sucking our money. And they thought we would just accept and say of course how much do you want ?
We are going to take them to court. We build a very nice case with our lawyer and according to him Snellers made a lot of mistakes. So we are looking forward to talking with them again :)
And to finish, the person replying to the reviews, please don't bother with things like Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and blablabla or whatever you may have to say. This is making you lower than you already are.
With all my despise,
Antoine Rolland
