Comment on agent fees
As mentioned above the fees have gone up £50 per year, I don't want to move from this flat but if the rent continues to rise at this rate I will be forced to look for a similar property at a cheaper rate. I know that other two bedroom flats in this block have been advertised at a cheaper rate, why should you get penalised for being a good tenant and living here longer?
