Let me get this straight, instead of spending your time productively, ensuring you have read and fully understand the legal document you are about to commit yourself to, you're going to play silly !!!!!!s with the pen?

The letting agent is getting paid the same salary whether he sits with you for 5 minutes or half an hour, so I'm not sure why you think he is going to particularly care how long you sit there for asking questions?

Quite frankly you're acting very immaturely. Lets hope your prospective landlord doesn't read this thread.

if you spent time reading my post you will see i asked the question if i was being immature you will also read that me and my girlfriend are in our early 20s and just starting out in life, and this guy is trying to take advantage of our situation. ive had to sort ALL this out my self!! but unlike you we cant afford a solicitor to fight our battles so in our world we have to do everything our self, hence why i am on here asking for advice not to have some jumped up !!!!! telling me what i already know! im quite sure if i go through your posts i will find you asking for help or advice along the way and i imagine you got it, so stop being a !!!!!!!

Spend your time forging a productive relationship with the landlord rather than worsening your relationship with the agent.

Assuming the LL has contracted the agent to manage the flat as well as find tenants, you will be dealing with the agent on an ongoing basis, you may need their heklp with repairs, they will be doing periodic inspections etc etc.

Don't cut off your nose to ......

hi! thanks for your post, sorry i should have mentioned this more in the original post but the landlord wants me to have his number so i deal with him for repairs etc as i asked the question if it was possible for me to do it myself if it was minor. but the landlord is a first time LL and said he wants as much contact with us as possible

You're being a child IMO.

i thought as much, should i take this on the chin and accept that with me and my girlfriend being so young we should expect "cheap tricks" upon us?

Admin fees? They are quite normal. Not many other 'rental charges' I can think of.

What rental charges? I wish you'd be explicit so that people can help you if they can but if you just wanted to have an incoherent rant then that's OK too but forewarning would have been nice.

no not admin fees, we payed that, the landlord left kitchen whites (fridges etc) and the LL said it was included. then the LA said we needed to pay a rental fee for each item
