“STUDENTS: Think Twice Before Renting with Reiss-Samuels!...”

I deeply regret not heeding the numerous negative reviews on Reiss-Samuels before getting involved with them. My landlord was Rakesh Patel, the same individual spotlighted in a concerning article on Morning Star (https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/b/east-london-property-tycoon-accused-of-exploiting-tenants-by-stealing-their-deposits). The experience was nothing short of a nightmare.

The property images online were misleading, and the floorplans in the tenancy agreement were inaccurate. Rakesh had an alarming tendency to make unannounced visits, often letting himself in and looking at our rooms without prior notice, leaving us feeling invaded and deeply unsettled. Like many others, I faced unjust deposit deductions for the most trivial reasons.

Satnam, another agent from Reiss-Samuels, often boasts about their properties being in high demand, which from my experience, couldn't be further from the truth. He's notorious for never being on time for viewings, leaving groups of students stranded outside properties. His demeanour is consistently rude, echoing the sentiments of many other negative reviews.

Interestingly, viewings for their properties start as early as January, much earlier than most other letting agents. I can't help but think this is because few people want to live in the student HMO houses they offer, so they're trying to get ahead of the competition.

The positive reviews, likely from working professionals, seem to be the exception rather than the rule. As a student, I felt particularly vulnerable to the manipulative tactics of both Rakesh and Satnam. I'm now reaching out to other students I know who've previously rented with Reiss-Samuels, urging them to share their experiences and reviews. The more people are aware of their practices, the better informed future renters will be.

If you're considering renting with them, especially if you're a student, please be cautious. Know your rights, safeguard your deposit, and perhaps consider other options.

Fake name Jehab its very important when making these malicious comments that your transparent so stand up for yourself and disclose who you are today stating which property you rented and your full name.

Let’s take this to another level and i can assure you i will investigate this personally immediately even today on Saturday 16th September 2023 I can assure you one thing we are very responsive. Call, email anytime.

We have never rented a property to a person with the first name, middle name or surname called Jehab Call us today on 0203 189 2621 or email us please don’t be scared disclose who you are.

You seem to know who we are and Mr Patel so please do disclose who you are and stop hiding behind a computer screen making slanderous comments about myself Satnam. I very much doubt you will disclose yourself but I really would like you to I am kindly asking you to act today.

Reiss-Samuels do not manage Mr Patels properties

Taking a viewpoint after reading these comments completely sounds like a tenant who has just left a property who has been deducted monies from their overall deposit which would have been registered with mydeposits. Please do disclose who you are I can promise you I will personally look into this for you if the deductions are unjust. Lets look into this together was the property given back in the same cleanliness standard as you were given the property, was the rent paid in full for the duration of the tenancy, damages caused we can look into this together.

Your saying our images are misleading. Reiss-Samuels property photos are not misleading, there are walk through tours for the majority of our properties on our site with a lot of internal and external photos I am very sorry but we don’t advertise Buckingham palace pretending its one our properties to rent.

The floor plans on the assured shorthold tenancy agreement drawn up by the landlords assistance shows the internal set up of the rooms internally. Mr Patel does not enter into houses and bedrooms unannounced 24 hours notice in a message would have been given and there is no need for Mr Patel to enter the property during a tenancy anyway. Only the landlords maintenance man generally enters

Notorious for being late – So sorry to hear this did this actually happen to you and other prospective tenants was it snowing or raining or were there thunderstorms that day or a hurricane, when making these defamatory comments you do need to add chilli sauce onto the story to make it more spicy if you get my drift.

Other letting agents have no connection to us it would be interesting to see what date you actually viewed the properties. If a student does not wish to view our properties that’s at their discretion

All letting agents need to be registered with a redress scheme by law. The redress scheme Reiss-Samuels are registered with The property Ombudsman www.tpos.co.uk who work alongside trading standards I will even provide a contact number 01722 333306 to make a complaint about Reiss-Samuels practices please do so. You may well want to do your research on who the property ombudsman are as well.

Jehab the fake name reviewer our phone lines are awaiting for your to call or email [email protected] really would love to find out who you are and the property you rented but something tells me you will not contact us.
