I'm only giving 1 star because 0 isn't an option. Keylet are the most morally corrupt group of individuals I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. They tried to take £236 from my £500 bond when I moved out. £189 of this was for an 'overspend of utility bills'. Their evidence for this was £189 written in biro on a scrap of paper. They tried to charge me £25 for a stained mattress that was not from my bedroom. After I proved this with photographs, they still tried to charge me for it. They also tried to charge me for painting walls and a desk that were already stained when I moved in. Not only did I have photo evidence that these issues were already there, they had a copy of my inventory where I had clearly documented the problems. After I took the matter to the TDS (independent adjudicator), it was agreed that £10 was the only acceptable deduction. On top of all this, the house leaked constantly, they let themselves into our house and bedrooms without warning or permission (violating the contract), and didn't resolve issues that we repeatedly reported. DON'T RENT WITH THEM. BUT IF YOU HAVE TO, PHOTOGRAPH EVERYTHING, RECORD ALL INTERACTIONS WITH THEM, AND HAVE FAITH THAT THE TDS WILL SEE THROUGH THEIR BS. I've attached some photos of the state of the property when we moved in. Stunning!

    Following the dreadful reviews I was skeptical about recommending Keylet at first to student friends. However the property was perfect and Millie was highly professional and resolved any issues with genuine warmth according to my friends. After the tenancy finished I asked my friends they got ALL...

    It I could rate this agency no stars, I would. My daughter and her 2 friend rented a flat in Roath, 1 of whom moved out and her room was locked for the remaining 8 out of 12 month period. Prior to handing the key back at the end of the letting term, 4 of us gave the flat a very deep clean,... Read Full Review

When we were searching for a place in Cardiff, we were initially quite pleased with the service in the office, but that was the last time we ever got good service from anyone working there.

    Letting agencies is not usually the best, but I think I was just too lucky in my other experiences. Keylet is by far the worst letting agency I've been with. A few examples? - They came into the property without permission (that we noticed), and maybe they came more. Once, they even... Read Full Review

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Went with Keylet- BIGGEST MISTAKE. We moved into our property and it was in grim condition- rubbish all over garden, house was dirty& quite clearly not cleaned, many items in the inventory were missing etc… the list goes on. However, it got a lot worse, we... Read Full Review

    They try to charge illegal agency fees, despite them being illegal since 2019 (2.5 years ago!). They were extremely keen to send a summary of the deposit via post, which I later learned is because this '' costs'' you £30, whereas an email is £12!... Read Full Review

    Beware! Keylet knew that some of their tenants were abusive and violent but let rooms to my friends anyway, who were forced to leave because Keylet refused to act. Now Keylet is demanding rent for when my friends weren't even there, and threatening their families with legal action. This is a... Read Full Review

    If you look at a Keylet property and there are problems such as damp, don't accept their assurance it will be fixed. Get it in writing that it will be fixed before you move in. If it isn't in writing and it isn't fixed - which it won't be - they'll say they have no... Read Full Review
