She doesn’t really have a choice. She’s committed to paying the rent for the full 12 months unless there is a way for her to agree to end the tenancy with the landlord. If she stops paying they will just chase her through the courts for it and she won’t get her deposit back. But she will get a CCJ which would probably make finding somewhere else even harder.

She needs to firstly see if she can find somewhere else to rent who will accept her,  and then talk to the landlord about ending the tenancy. Who knows, they might be glad to see the back of her.

Tarnishing your enjoyment tends to happen if you start playing games with other people’s finances.

Do you think she should contact the landlord herself and say as the letting agents are being so cruel to her and not letting her get her side across on anything , they’re just harassing her and making her look awful , they’re not listening to her whatsoever 

i understand she signed ast and she should stay until it runs out .. and then most probs landlord will serve notice to leave , she hasn’t missed a payment on any rent on any rentals except from the bank fraud , she’s been a good renter except this hiccup .. 

Cruel? Give me a break!  I'm no fan of letting agents but your bum's oot the windae. 

A good tenant?  She's only been there since November and both December and January's rent has been late.  Whilst your friend could speak to the landlord directly the most sensible thing she could do is keep her head down and keep paying her rent on time.

Should she contact them on social media or write them a letter to there home address

Do you think my friend should start looking elsewhere to rent and keep paying the rent until she goes 

she don’t feel at home there anymore 

Oh yes. Absolutely. She needs to move on.

She should definitely keep paying the rent though. Why would she not pay for the place she is living in? 

Do you think? It’s just tarnished her enjoyment of living there she has lost interest in the house since this has happened ,

the landlord presumably still wants to proceed with G11 and G17 so do you think she should stay and pay until courts come and have a look for another house 

I rather suspect the landlord isn’t particularly looking forward to her lingering about for too one either - on the basis that he will rather like being paid the rent that might be needed to pay a mortgage, for example, but there you go, life sucks, huh?

Should she pay her rent for the rest of the time she’s there? Yes - if she has even half a scrap of common human decency, she absolutely should. Will she? Well - what do YOU think? 

“A good renter except this hiccup” did make me laugh though - I’m not sure most people’s definition of a good tenant would be one that pays their first months rent then doesn’t bother for a few months, then gets issued with a S8 as a result and STILL doesn’t pay as soon as apparently able, tries to blackmail the letting agency over whether the arrears ever ARE going to be paid, and then to top it all feels that they are being treated “cruelly” when they get what they absolutely should have expected!  🤣🤣 Hiccup? It’s more like a cardiac arrest, to be honest!

Of course as a good friend the Op could have loaned them 2 months rent, give a frozen bank account 🤷‍♀️

@Boat_to_Bolivia Sorry I can’t link it, that thread was closed and then deleted cos it turned into mayhem and went completely off topic. Shame cos (imo) it was the best one so far. 

Mind you, this could take an upswing… cruelty… write to there home address… there’s hope here yet!

Your friend can negotiate a mutual early termination of the tenancy with the LL if she wants to leave early. If he wants her out without court and bailiff costs added then he will agree.
Otherwise she is in a contractual tenancy until November and will have to see that 10 months out first, if he doesn't proceed under G10 and 11.
She should contact him via the address given on her TA. Not social media.

Ah well, I can't imagine it was that convincing, nor as funny as this

Quite sad that the standard is so low these days...

Apart from the fact that, by a cruel twist of fate (as we know from some of the many other threads of OP) the bank accounts of OP were also frozen!

do you think she should stay and grin and bare it until then? 

What exactly would she be baring?

And to whom?

And would they even notice if she was grinning?
