Student Tenancy Agreement HELP

tinaa1

My student daughter and her friend were due to move into their rented property yesterday... They signed the agreement and paid the first months rent a month or so ago. I had been ringing the estate agent all the week before explaining that the keys need to be with them as I was travelling up ( 2 hour journey) to help my daughter move. When I arrived at the estate agents I was told they didnt have the keys... they called the landlord who asked to meet me at the property an hour or so later. I arrived and he wasnt there.. I called the estate agents and they told me there had been a development. the Landlord had decided to let the current tenants stay another month!!!!!.......... Legally as they had signed the agreement and paid the first months rent, I didt think he was allowed to do this.... Can anyone give me some advice please......

Hi I have no advice myself but didn't want to read and not reply. You may be better posting this in the renting section of the forum as there is more traffic there I believe.

Has the landlord signed the agreement too?
