DO NOT USE. Jade is a rude money grabber. After living in the property for 18 months through an estate agent I received an email for jade stating that I owed over £400 in council tax. The contract clearly state thats and I quote directly from the TA
"Rent being inclusive of all costs at the Property relating to electricity, gas and water. For the avoidance
of doubt, this excludes the cost of council tax and TV licensing and this is the liability of the tenant."
Which means I need to contact both tv licensing and local council to pay for both of these.
I contacted the council to be told that I don't need to pay anything on this property. I mentioned this to both Nick and Jade but both refused to listen. I took this matter to citizens advise who reviewed my contract and told me I DO NOT have to pay anything in regards of council tax to noble as it is NOT STATED in my contract and NO AMOUNT was given. So them telling me that I have to pay £25 a month could just have been any figure they came up with just to make a bit more cash.
Moving out time, when it came to moving out I was shocked that no one was attending to do my check out as any other landlord or agent does to prove that they aren't damaging the property to then try and blame me for it luckily I haven't been blamed for any damage. When I emailed Jade a week later asking when I would receive my bond back surprise surprise no response, I only received a response after I sent an email stating that if I didn't receive my bond by the end of the month then I would be making a claim to the small claims court. Jade response was I never paid a bond and I still "owe" for the council tax (that I legally don't have to pay to them) and its me that will be taken to court. After applying for a new property as my partner and I are moving in together as we have a baby due i asked Jade if she can respond to the emails requesting a reference of my tenancy. Now this is a very simple email that would have taken less than 2 minutes to write and send. After multiple emails asking Jade for this reference she replies "we will not be giving a reference" now this has affected the property that me and my partner had applied for and caused me to lose £127 as I had to give a nonrefundable holding fee. This has now left me short on being able to apply for another property and as I'm currently in temporary housing and must leave on the 27th Feb I WILL BE HOMELESS!!!!!
