Think u missed the irony of someone not knowing the rules, complaining about someone for not knowing the rules.

Slow? No, in fact as I told u already emails are worthless.

That's where the help comes in, not that your grateful

ROFLOL! If you improve YOUR English language ability (and not prove that YOU'RE an *fill in blanks*), then I might understand you. LOL!!!

Duh? Quote the law which makes this a criminal offence? Then go to the police station and report him.

Jesus, ur a landlord?! Heaven help your tenants. Wish I hadn't bothered helping now. Some people deserve what they get.

If you don't know this, then you are rather stupid, ignorant, etc. Even my LL admitted wrongdoing here!!!

Yup, I am a landlord. Not just in the UK. But I have class and use proper lettings agencies (I don't put all eggs in the same basket). With a managed service, there is no hassle really. Of course, the risk of tenants not paying rent is there, but that's what insurance is for.

My LL is a bit of a joke. We agreed that given I am busy and don't have time to maintain the garden, the LL would sort this out for an extra £100 a month. A real joke! Someone does come and do the front on occasions, but nothing has been done to the back at all, despite this being clear in e-mail. All I seem to get are lies and more lies.

Whatever you say my knowledge of tenancy laws clearly surpasses yours

I think mrgringe will agree that despite my morals dictating the stance I take I do provide accurate information to LLs and Ts

At the moment OP has, at most, an agreement to surrender the tenancy. The tenancy will not end in March.

Email is not writing! When will people learn!!!! Grrrr

An email is in writing.
Any issues with emails do not stem from them not being "in writing".

It's not class that makes people use agencies, it's naivity in thinking they know more than you about letting property. I hope you keep your agents on a short leash. Don't think agencies necessarily know or adhere to all the relevant and up-to-date lettings regulations. And don't think they won't charge you a premium for repairs they contract out to their chums in the trade for a hefty backhander. And the buck will ultimately stop with you when they screw up.


But, since you're obviously so knowledgeable about letting law, why did you come here asking for advice?

Typical idiot, putting words in my mouth!

When did I say that I was " so knowledgeable about letting law"? On the contrary, I even admitted that I didn't know this aspect about surrendering early - hence being on here! So please, stop illustrating your utter stupidity to the whole world!

I am a management consultant, I know certain things pertaining to the industry I specialise in. It's not tenancy! So, I make use of lettings agencies. Oh, and yes, it's a rather comprehensive "managed service". The good thing is, we use the same tradespeople, e.g. the same plumber I used (more like a family friend now) when living in the West Berks place is the same one that the lettings agency use. Never had a single complaint from any tenant in all 3 places. I put it down to the professional lettings agencies.

Indeed. But..... you need to be able to communicate effectively. I am sure you will agree that you cannot do this if you do not have a decent command of the language in question.

Given that your level of English is horrible, I am happy to use another language. Portuguese? Italian? Both Mandarin and Cantonese? Malay/Indonesian? My French is a bit suspect, but still a possibility.

This is not true. Until now, I still do not have a conclusive answer. But what jjlandlord wrote makes sense.

Why oh why, why can't agencies open on Sundays? Do viewings on Saturdays and Sundays? Ppl are at work during the week!!! I think they'll get more business if they are open on weekends (and take Monday or some other weekday off).
