Letting Agent's Renewal Fees
Comments
-
They have sent t&c's doc, but it is actually for a different agent than it is today (they said there was a buyout / merger in 2008). No current t&c's for the agent that is charging as of today.
This just means that the original T&Cs were not amended and still apply.
What do they say?so it's actually 10+ years that they have been performing a let & rent collect service and charging 10%
They can't bind the landlord to their rent collection service for ever, as that would definitely be an unfair term.0 -

What do they say?
Just because they are old doesn't mean they are the original T&Cs. But if you have nothing else you'll probably have to go with them.
What the terms are for new clients now doesn't matter.0 -
10% for tenant find + rent collect is not unreasonable.
Please quote the relevant clauses for cancellation of the contract.0 -
