No rent payment from agent

HappyMJ

So go down to the agency and get copies of the documentation...today...now...

I don't get copies of the TA either but I know where they are and they can be emailed to me on request.

I have read the responses of reading the AST and other documentation, but as written as the agent does all this I have never recieved this.

You have that first document you signed with the agent. READ THIS. From what you're saying, it could be a commercial contract and the letting agent is your tenant, who is then sub letting?

READ WHAT YOU INITIALLY SIGNED!

You might have rented direct to the Letting agent?!?!

From the replies I guess my only option is to continue asking the agent to chase the council, which they are doing on my behalf and apprently for other of their customers. And I cannot do a lot else?

Thanks

You can do as advised and read the relevant documets.

If you don't have them, GO AND GET THEM (and then read them).

There is no point asking the agent "to chase the council" if the contractual arrangement makes that impossible. Or if you could do it yourself. Or if legal action would be more appropriate. Or if the occupant is at fault. Or if you could evict the occupant. Or or or .....

But until you find out your legal position, this is all guesswork.

Get a grip!

Grow some ****s!

Take some responsibility!

(and dare I say it - become a proper landlord)

My feeling is that the council pays housing benefit directly to the agent who is managing the property and the agent is not passing it on to the landlord, I don't think its a subletting situation, I think the letting agent is play silly beggers
