Moved into a Tenant Direct Property as a Student. It wasn't cleaned before we got there but it wasn't terrible. Either way, that was the least of our worries. In the winter it started to get very cold inside the house - often colder than outdoors temperatures. We complained about this half a dozen of times but were always ignored. We braved the rest of the Winter month, though with illnesses created because of it. When it reached Summer we had somebody come round to check out boiler. It had been broken for ages and there was no heat!!! It was a legal requirement to fix it, yet they still didn't. We kept on at them again and eventually they did, but only because they absolutely HAD to. We're pretty sure Tenant Direct knew about the boiler problem all along and just didn't want to pay out to put a new one in. Nothing else was ever fixed quickly either - it took around five months for them to fix a broken window!


Comments on Agent Fees

Bad! The worst I've seen. We were even charged to leave the contract! And our deposit was never given back.

These guys have horrendous reviews for a reason. Tenant Direct both owned and managed the property that I was a tenant in. My housemates and I suffered from a range of issues that tenant direct refused to acknowledge. We had rats from the day we moved in and they refused to get rid of them for 8... Read Full Review

I was with Tennant Direct in 2014 for two years. They refused to fix our boiler and made us live in the freezing cold with no heating for a year. After being ill ever since, I have now found out that it is due to the mold that was in that house. We had many other problems with Tennant Direct, but... Read Full Review

First of all the agent said he was a private landlord. I was supposed to see 3 different apartments. On the day of the viewings, I get an e-mail that only 1 is left, but there are other properties suitable for me. I had liked one and I was hoping it was not taken. I got a text message with a...

Absolutely useless, not only did they seem to act on no issues we raised with them but they also seem to have a (hidden) fee for everything. Additionally we received the house only partially cleaned yet when we left it well cleaned we still got billed �130 cleaning charges. Then on top of that... Read Full Review

Many hidden and expensive fees on top of the initial expensive (~£190 pp) agency fee.
