Members of staff illegally entered the house I am currently renting. We never received any notice of viewings and they turned up and often just let themselves in without knocking. One I was asleep and they went to come into my room and more recently ...

Where do I even begin? This is, without a doubt, the WORST letting agency you will ever find in Cardiff! Trust me, I have been forced to work with many agencies along the years, but I have never found one that is worse than Keylet. ...

Do yourself a favour and stay away from Keylet!
We rented a student house from Keylet, and they were terrible from start to finish. The staff are incompetent at their jobs, meaning issues don't get sorted. To top it all off, they will try to ...

As indicated by the other reviews, a very poor letting agent to deal with compared to regular residential letting agents.
Keylet seem to think that because their tenants are students, they can apply excessive deductions from deposits and get away with it. Following an end-of-tenancy ...

I knew Student Letting Agents were bad but never knew quite how bad until selecting Keylet as my agents for second year.
Keylet will not see you as a student, not even as a person but as a target. They love to rinse you of ...

I stayed in a flat managed by Keylet for 6 years, and while my maintenance issues were sorted fairly quickly, Keylet's unprofessionalism quickly surfaced at the end of tenancy.
The TDS (Tenancy Deposit Service) advises agents to return deposits to tenants within 10 days of the end ...

1/4 rent plus VAT is absurd, £200 a year just to print out the previous year's contract and change the dates? You have a very high opinion of yourselves if you think it's worth that.

Hello, we are very sorry to hear of your review and as a valued tenant for 6 years we are sorry you feel that the end of the tenancy was not maintained to our professional standards that you had experienced during your tenancy. We appreciate the amount of bonds we are currently processing is not your concern, we have a housing team with members of staff committed solely to the deposits, however in light of your comments, we will look to improve by using additional resources in future. We underst ...

As we are governed by the schemes rules and regulations, it is our duty to remain compliant with them and therefore can assure you that we deal with deposits in line with their procedures.
