Late rent charge

need_an_answer

OP when you say your rent was 2 days late,is that 2 days after the actual due date?

I know that many LA's ask tenants to make the rent payment in some cases 3 days before the actual due date to allow for weekends and bank holidays and some even request a further day to ensure funds are there to transfer to the LL on the actual date the rent is due.

I have a tenant who pays me now direct almost a week before the rent is due simply because he has previously dealt with agencies who use BACS rather than faster payments for example.

... but if two (or more) people have contractually agreed to pay a letting agency to do the same thing - that's absolutely fine. They both must pay.

That is perfectly legal under contract law - unless some kind of deception was involved.


(But that's not really relevant to the OP's situation.)

That would be the landlord who has a contract with the letting agent and the tenant who has no contract whatsoever with the letting agent.

No it's not find to charge both the tenant and the landlord for the same thing which was one of the bases of the claim brought by Leigh Day on behalf of landlords against Foxtons. Unfortunately since landlords are the ones who have the contract with the letting agency it's only the landlords who can take action against the scumbags.

I think saajan_12 is spot on. The Boe base rate is 0.5% per annum therefore 5% over the Boe rate must be 5.5% per annum and not per day.
