    One more question. I actually pay the agents the rent, and not my landlady direct. Am i entitled to request I pay my landlady and not tha agent, or again is that something that can only be decided by my LL.
    Can I refuse to pay the agents and pay my LL direct?

    Members were a bit premature with their advice, but your landlord is the one to make any decisions.

    Not really. Agents are agents of the Landlord. They do not enter into tenancy agreements themselves.
