Dear Ex-Tenant I am sorry you feel you have had such a bad experience renting through us. If you would like to contact me directly or on this forum with your name and property address I will certainly look into your complaint and address each point comprehensively. I do not deal with deposit returns and have minimal control over when the independent check-out clerk forwards the dilapidations report but I will certainly look into this as well. Your deposit will have been registered with the ...

Jolly P you are unbelievably ungrateful! and you should be ashamed of yourself - You did rent a property through us which was one of our cheapest one bedroom flats which was priced at that level because it was in a poor condition. You constantly moaned and whinged about it until we could no longer take you seriously. It was a bit like the boy who cried wolf. When you did have a problem we arranged for you and your girlfriend to move into a three star hotel on a full board basis whilst it was fix ...
