Mr Shadi took my deposit and treated my extremely unkindly. He will take advantage of foreign tenants a lot as we are not as aware about the UK system. I drives me crazy how his workers can actually live with themselves working for him. When I asked my Dad to reason with him he just put the phone down on my Dad. This man runs an illegal business and should get punished in some way before hurting more people. ...

STAY AWAY FROM THEM!
THE OWNER SHADI IS A CRIMINAL THAT CHARGES ILLEGAL HIDDEN FEES! FURTHERMORE, HE WILL SHOW UP AT THE PROPERTY THREATENING THE TENANTS WITH EVICTION IF THEY REFUSE TO PAY THE ILLEGAL FEES!
