It is regrettable that you feel the need to be so unreasonable and quite frankly rude and disrespectful in your latest comments. We run a fair and honest business and I re-iterate that we do not benefit from deposit deductions in anyway whatsoever. Any deductions made are always accounted for and are purely for dilapidations or outstanding rent only. The tenancy is between the tenant and landlord. If a landlord requests compensation for dilapidations caused, then it is our role to ne ...

Marcel, In an email in February you thanked us for our comprehensive check out report relating to the property and after negotiations you agreed to pay compensation for dilapidation's caused during your tenancy. I re-iterate, if you did not agree, we cannot simply take your deposit; that would be breaking the law. But you did agree. Again, if you did not agree then you were entitled to a FREE independent arbitration, of which you were well aware. With regard to the 5 days rent th ...

May we apologise for any inconvenience in this matter. Having looked into the circumstances further it appears that we did take an application late the evening before your viewing. Unfortunately the message to our accompanied viewer to cancel your viewing was only picked up after your viewing took place. I understand that our accompanied viewer later explained what had happened and made every attempt to provide an alternative. We are sorry that on this occasion it was not possible, but we would ...

We have over 2000 clients on our system and unfortunately we are unable to search 'RS' to find out who you are to enable us to provide a fair response to this specific case. However, we can confirm that before any tenant takes possession of a property, a photographic and written inventory is provided as proof of the condition of the property. When a tenant vacates, the same inventory is used to compile a check out report, allowing for fair wear and tear. If there are dilapidations at the ...
