That turned out to be pretty truthful. And from there i get in touch with the moving manger Miss Alisha, she is a great person base on what i get from her from the fi ...

Firstly, my apologies if I have got the wrong tenant but I believe you are the tenant from Gaisford Street. As I was personally involved in this dispute I find your comments exrtremly unfair. What you have failed to mention is that you signed a fixed term contact and then decided, firstly, that you wanted to break the contact due to a break-in at the flat and you were informed that we simply cannot allow a tenant to break the contract for this reason alone, in the same way a mortgage coimpany ...

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
