    He is Nigerian sorry. He is just making things difficult and the inventory shows that we entered a filthy house and left it clean. There will be no doubt about that But all the correspondence I had with him was as landlord and he wasn't. - he was YOUR landlord, regardless of who owned the house He never gave notice he just text and said he was coming. And within minutes he was there. he came into the house with me alone and tbh he could have been anyone. - so why on earth did you let him in?? Its fine I have a list of people who have been duped by him now after a very busy morning online and he is known to various bodies so I don't think I will have any trouble now getting the money I just would have preferred the easy way. Purplebricks never knew he was in contact with me or came round etc and came in as he got my number from a plumber who had done work in the house and started contacting me like that Yes its my fault but I am over 2k out of pocket currently and he is a crook who I could shop to the immigration people for his shoddy NHS fraud but I'd rather have my £ and a quiet life



    Are you basing your assertion on NHS fraud due to his nationality?

    He is the landlord. Not sure how many times this has to be spelt out, the landlord is the person on your agreement.

    As I understand it, it was not his name that was on the agreement but his wife's. OP made the mistake in thinking he was.

    Fair enough, landlord's husband, tbh just as likely to be authorised to act 'as' the landlord.

    1) what is the full name of the landlord named on the tenancy agreement?


    2) what is the address in England or wales provided to you in writing ( on the tenancy agreement?) for 'serving of notices'? This is how/where you send official letters to your landord. If you have not been given one, you do not have to pay rent.

    Umm, probably not ideal to post full name and address on here... I'm sure you just meant "Look at them on the tenancy", but...

    He was not authorised to act the agents have confirmed this. The address on teh landlord is c/o Purplebricks. I have his address as the neighbours gave it to me but have never sent anything there or been there even though it is literally a few streets away. i'm a bit scared of him. The agents have contacted him today and told him to stop messaging me

    He is not authorised to act he doesn't own the house and Purplebricks only know of him because of messages he has sent me which I forwarded to them.

    Indeed. I could have phrased it better!
    The address on teh landlord is c/o Purplebricks.
    If the address on the tenancy agreement 'for serving notices' is c/o purple bricks, then THAT IS WHERE YOU MUST SEND ALL FORMAL COMMUNICATION. By all means send copies elsewhere (his email if you have it, his address 'a few streets away', whatever, but you MUST use the official address provided by law for that purpose.

    Since there seems to be some confusion as to who the LL actually is, again I refer you to the tenancy agreement (yes, of course don't post the name here!), but whatever name is used at the top of the agreement, that is your landlord.

    But purplebricks work for the landlord, who can nominate anyone he or she likes to act on their behalf - and they don't have to tell the agent this
