Last year when I make an 50GBP higher offer than the asking price, my landlord asked for 25GBP, claiming something due to our backgorund he needs to add extra 25GBP which is nuts, James liased with him and stop him from doing so.
However, since then it wasn't James who liased with us. Things have been changed. We have a cubby hole in our flat and the landlord didn't get rid of the rubbish inside and even asked me to help find a company and clear it.
We are about to move out now. We have given timeslots for viewing, with one of the rooms filled with boxes because of packing ,our large amount of belongings and the fact that we can't use the cubby hole. Our landlord told us that agents from Eddison White told him that the flat was in a shocking state because of the boxes and thus affect offer making and asked us to PAY MORE EFFORT in making sure the flat is 'presentable'. He even demanded the same day clearance after the cubby hole being cleared recently because of the viewing. Agents from Eddisonwhite simply passed the message to us without thinking if that's really our responsibilty and if the landlord's request is reasonable, let alone his demanding tone.
Every time there is a viewing we tidy the flat, and we managed to clear the cubby hole, but couldn't find any terms in the tenancy agreement requiring us to clear boxes, and make sure the flat is representable (from the agent perspective) for viewing. We asked for the term but received no reply.
Also, the asking price of the rent has risen 20% when compared to the asking price last year. This could also be a huge reason for it not being able to let out yet but the blame is on us.
We feel not respected, and with Eddison white definitely sided with the landlord and giving us demanding requirements with how our home should be like at the last one or two months of our lease. This is an appalling experience and I think public deserves to know our experience.
