DRM residential caused me and my housemates hell pretty much the entire year.

We firstly arrived to a dirty flat that had clearly not been cleaned well, with all the dishes covered in grime. Trying to resolve problems with them was a nightmare as they were very uncommunicative.

Our heater broke in the beginning of December (and was according to the safety engineer had not been fit for use for the 3 months we were there which was so dangerous), whilst it was snowing and they left us without a heater for nearly 3 weeks which I’m pretty sure is illegal, we all had exams at this point and it was extreme distributive.

Secondly, I unfortunately caught Covid at the end of the year and was going to run over my tenancy, I rang and explained my situation to which I was told ‘go get a hotel’ and was pretty much told I didn’t have a choice to stay and if I did stay they would charge me a ridiculous amount of money.

I finally found a place to stay, and it meant that I had to walk through Edinburgh to a new house with all my stuff, all whilst being pretty ill with covid, I asked the manager (Joshua Mathie) if I could leave the house at 10pm in order to avoid being around a lot of people, to which I was told that I had to be gone by 5pm otherwise I would be charged for the extra day. This whole situation was so distressing for me and had such an affect on my mental health. This company is lacking a severe amount of empathy and would tell everyone to avoid at all costs.

On top of all this, they charged us a cleaning deposit despite the house being cleaner than when we first got there.

We are sorry to hear you have been unhappy with our service however we feel some of your comments are very unfair and others are not true at all. The owner decided to sell the property during your stay which was unfortunate but this could not be predicted by us therefore the information we gave you was accurate at the time. The owner may not have decided to sell the property if there had not been so many issues with your tenancy, some of which are still unresolved even after you vacated the prop ...

We are disappointed to hear your comments about our company however we do not agree with them. The results from the adjudication process carried out by Safe Deposit Scotland went in your landlord's favour and this was a result of the evidence provided to them by us during the claim process which clearly proved the claim was justified and accurate. We do not charge illegal fees, as members of ARLA we have to abide by a strict code of practice and part of doing that is to operate within the law. ...

They are a very dishonest agency. The time taken to repair things was appalling over the 2 years. At the end of the tenancy they used some old cupboard doors that were from before our tenancy and stored in a garage and fixed them in the kitchen and tried to say we had damaged the doors. This failed with the adjudicator because I had photographic evidence that the doors were in perfect condition the day we left from both my own photos and from the photos from the cleaning company. Their dishonest ...
