Landlord-to-be being sued, can't move in

  • Do you mean you signed the contracts and got a copy back signed by the landlord and witnessed; or that you just signed your bits and gave them to the agent?

    If his bit isnt signed it isnt a contract and you havent got any recourse unfortunately.

    The former, unfortuantely. Happened last night and we were due to get signed copies back ahead of moving in tonight. Hoping the landlord can find somewhere else of similar scope and cost - they're on the case.
