Very short story, in February this year, together with my partner and her cousin, we wanted to rent a house with this agency. We have viewed the property, payed security deposit and first month pay early of February. We have also all signed an online contract with a moving in date of 12/02/20. Roughly about a week before our moving in date, the agency has contacted us that the current tenant is still occupying the property and needs more time to move out. We have accepted a new moving in date which was meant to be 17/02/20. 2 days before our moving in date, they have informed us that the current tenant is still there and needs a few more days. Again, we have agreed but to move in no later than 19/02 at 12pm as we gave notices to our current landlords and will have nowhere to live. On the 18/02 I have rented a van, packed everyone’s staff, (furniture etc), filled the van up with petrol. On the same day about 5pm the agency has called us and said that current tenant is still there and more of it, they cannot get in touch with her.

In the end, we did not move in to the property, as we have managed to contact current tenant and she said she has no idea of when is she going to move out and never gave them actual notice day! More of it apparently they have been trying to kick her out and frightened her that they will put some extra costs to her rent. She has also told us that early December someone else was in the same situation that we are.

We decided to go elsewhere as this is too much. They have refunded us the deposit and first month rent and as soon as they did that, they have put it back on the market. I asked my friend to called them up and pretend that she is interested to move in and they said that the property will not be ready for another 4weeks at least....

We ended up having to rent a room at Lok N Store to put all our staff there, and obviously payed for a van, petrol all for nothing. We tried to claim this money back from landlord (about £200), but they have refused to do so. It has caused us a lot of stress and one was homeless for 3 weeks until we found another place with obviously different agency.

Seriously the worst experience I have ever had and heard about! Funny enough, the house(Coronation Hill Epping) is still up for rent on the market and it is April Now!

We are truly sorry you have had this most unfortunate experience.

You are right to identify the current tenant as being responsible for not vacating as planned and many people have been put out by their lack of communication and their disregard for others.

At all stages we have tried to keep those affected including yourselves, the landlord and check out clerk informed as best possible. The tenants misdemeanours, falsehoods and refusal to communicate has made this situation most disturbing for all involved, but, in particular yourselves.

It is a shame you are unable to recognise neither the landlord or agent can be held responsible for the unreliable actions of this tenant, but we do understand how airing your frustration may make you feel some compensation.

With best wishes

Mandy Stevenette
