The handyman never fixes anything. He turns up and says he will, but doesn't. It's been over 6 weeks now and nothing has been done so have given up and are having to resort to doing repairs ourselves (which we will no doubt be charged for when we leave).
I think as long as they are getting the full rent then the tenants are irrelevent, as we don't pay as much fees to them as the landlords. The problem with York is there is so much demand for housing that standards of housing and repair are low and tenants are disposable. You certainly get that impression anwyay...

I'm sorry you feel you have had a lack of communication, but I would note we have recorded notes of both phone messages and emails to advise of the few viewings we had on the apartment. You were advised in writing of the new landlord and advised the new landlord was managing the flat herself, indeed you changed the payments into the new landlords account at the end of 2016. As we did not manage the flat your dealings towards the end of the tenancy were directly with the landlord. I can understan ...

Always very disappointing when we hear one of our tenants is not happy. As an ARLA member we strive to provide a high level of service for both landlords and tenants. We always notify before attending visits or sending a tradesman for repairs. I'm not sure which property you are at, but I wonder whether we need an update of your contact details from the ones we have received from your previous agent. Please emails these to our lettings team at [email protected] ...

we are disappointed with your comments. We keep file notes of each telephone conversation. On making your offer you advised you did not have to sell your house. Having seen your property go up for sale we spoke to you in two occasions. Eventually asking you to confirm in writing you did not need to sell your house to proceed. You advised you wanted 'a few weeks' to try and sell your house. The vendors decision was to remarket the home and you were advised accordingly. The owner has never been ad ...
