Landlords and tenants - BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY! I used their services as a landlord and was shocked by the staff's aggressive and unethical behaviour.
I'm very glad I was able to pull out of doing business with them, however the whole ordeal was quite stressful and put me through a lot.

Must be a quiet day at Accommodate Edinburgh HQ. Couldn't help noticing another 'positive' review popped up on Google reviews this morning. Avoid this dishonest and incompetent letting agency, unless you enjoy being treated like dirt, ripped off and having to fight tooth and claw to get any of your deposit back. ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
I think they quite deliberately were threatening, bullying and completely dishonest. I feel like they tried to rob us. That may sound farfetched but to threaten people for money they do not owe is essentially trying to steal. To suggest how they could have been better is difficult when they deliberately behaved in that way. I would say they must be very unhappy people to be able to act in such a manner. I would suggest they should find a profession in which they are not expected to help people.

They are not capable of changing my mind or do anything better . Unless they change their attitude towards their clients and tenants. But sure they could have addressed the issues that I raised to them and resolved, instead they buried their heads and hand out a notice of quite because we complaint too much (With All The Rights Reasons) here is the video that produce to show how the boiler is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttHtFgcVyAw Please Help and report everything you are not happy with and Lets Make a Better Scotland For Us All.
