Not true and the time zone matters.
Many times online disputes require a phone call etc, I agree with JJ.
I don't trust the system will always support you, you need to protect yourself.

I find the hypocrisy from the OP highly amusing, especially if they cannot see anything wrong with them breaching the contract but the LL is not allowed to ask to vary the existing terms. What is this world coming to?

Into a better place.
I don't get people like you, but let me break it down for you, one more time, in a very easy way:

1) Asking for more money for 4 months rent that are left = greedy. PERIOD.

2) I am on the other hand not asking for MORE money, AT ALL = I am not hypocrite, I am not complaing that my LL is doing something that I do, I just want to protect my money.

3) Again, I am trying to protect myself.

4) Under any cirumstances I am not asking to WITHOLD the rent without paying what I owe but yes, I'd rather pay what I owe instead of asking for what I owed back!!!!! Get it???

Mr somethingcorporate, there is a big difference between being with the upper hand, protecting yourself, and asking for more money. Yes, I do see the world would become a disgusting place if all landlords will try to take more money from their tenants for no reason.

Put yourself in my shoes, once and for all, and you will see the difference. This is absolutely not any hypocris. This is a pure way to protect yourself. Yes, I've been living here long enough to learn that your British system does function properly but I've read online on many people who got sting - I don't wanna be there, I just wanna live my life in a peace of mind that I am not getting screwed. In the past I did rent in other places without any complaints but it took me about 2 months to get my deposit back!!! - So Mr. somethingcorproate - I would repeat what I said above::::Under any cirumstances I am not asking to WITHOLD the rent without paying what I owe but yes, I'd rather pay what I owe instead of asking for what I owed back!!!!

Do you have a problem with that?!

In America people can even deliberately destroy the landlord's property for being like that, but I respect the country I'm living in and I will show respect, just feeling the need to put it in the forum. :mad::mad:

I will not even read any more, because with an attitude like that you can just go p$$$ off back to America.
By the way, if you tried that in the "Land of the free", you would probably get shot!

At 3 years surely this won't be an AST?

What you want and what you get may be two different things, young lady(?)

It's AST for the term of three years.
That's what the document says.

I've just googled and apparently an AST can be longer. I had it in my head they had to be 2 years or less.

OP - if you have a Fixed Term tenancy agreement and there is no rent increase mechanism in the contract itself then the LL *cannot* increase the rent within that FT without your consent.

As someone else has suggested, it is possible that the LL does not know what the LA is trying to do and it's worth re-iterating that LAs are not required to have any specific training, qualifications or expertise before setting themselves up in business.

As you say that your tenancy deposit is scheme registered just use the scheme to settle any deduction issues.

Asking for more money is OK?!
Go and protect your landlords anyway, what a scum, I'm just losing my nerves now reading so much crap.

I want to protect myself against getting screwed while he doesn't pay me the rent if I pay him. You guys only convince me to do the other way around, so congratulations!! :T:T:T

Why people don't have some sense in their brains, just once????

No-one thinks it's OK - in fact, we think the agent's a bit of an idiot, as you are in a fixed-term contract. so don't worry about the extra rent, you don't have to pay it or be concerned with it.

However, two wrongs don't make a right.
