i had such a bad experience with this letting agency, they sent someone to check the fire hazard in this apartment i was letting and the person who checked it disconnected the gas from the apartment as well as the oven claiming that it has a fire hazard and dangerous (this happened after around 8 months with me living in this place) then i contacted them to tell them about this and the sent someone after a week to reconnect the gas , i was frozen this week they left me with no gas so i can't turn on the heating !, and the landlady of this property refused to fix the oven , they kept promising me to fix the oven for 2 months ! so i was left without an oven or a cooker in this apartment, both the letting agency and the landlady refused to pay me any refund regarding leaving me with no cooker. i told them i will leave this apartment 15 days before the contract ends and they said since there was many problems the won't charge me thing for leaving this bad place which costs me 595 GBP a month !!! for not having a descent place to cook for 2 months ! i said that i want the full deposit back and they told me that i won't get it full because the landlady wants to charge me 180 GBP for cleaning the place (that i cleaned before i left), fixing the table (that was already broken when i came in), and fixing the door (i didn't understand what door they are talking about since the door was working well and i didn't break the door, did I !!! )
i think this company is not protecting the tenant , they didn't help me or protect me from the landlady who took 595 GBP a month !!!! for 12 months ! just because I am an international student they expected that I won't fight for this ! also what they said that they can't do anything to help me is stupid because i paid them agency fees when i signed the contract , also their names on the contract and i will give them zero starts on this review website , and i hope all students will avoid renting any property from this agency who cares only about the landlords not the people living in the places,
sending this message to all students worldwide googling this agency hoping they will read it.
cheers
What agent could do to change your mind?
