Best Strategy to get deposit back !!
Submitted by fox_tons_screwed on Mon, 16/06/2008 - 16:46.
ladies & gentlemen,
my lease is about to expire, the flat is in mint condition after 1 year, i had a maid come and clean the place twice a week. what is the best way to get the deposit ( £3300 ) back with minimum headache and pain ?
the flat check-in inventory was done by an independent agency and they had done a detailed job, so i will get the check out done by the same agency and i know they will not find any fault.
all help is welcome....i will not use foxtons again, can you let me know who are the good agents in the putney ( london ) area ?#
cheers
Foxtons trying to rid me of my tenant? Anybody else had this?
I’m a landlord. When my tenancy agreement came up for renewal, Foxtons told me they were trying to renew the lease with my tenant, but then I got an email from Foxtons saying the tenant was not going to agree to the increase Foxtons was asking for in rental, and did I want them to start remarketing my flat?
That would have meant Foxtons had instantly doubled their market and had on tap: 1 - a tenant without a landlord to re-house; 2 - a landlord without a tenant as a customer.
I contacted the tenant myself who told me she wanted to stay.Is this something Foxtons does a lot? If yes, let’s pool our information. richardbernanos@yahoo.co.uk
Best advise - use an ARLA agent
Unfortunately they are an opt in association, but they inforce certain rules and regs. So if you chose an Arla agent, you should be safe because they are only allowed to act acording to the law and with a duty of care to Landlords and tenants
