Landlord Contact Details

I have had loads of problems with my tenancy with Foxtons and am desperately seeking a way to get out before the agreed end of my lease.  According to the Landlord & Tenants Act 1985, they are required by law to provide my landlord's address within 21 days of my request but they have not done this.  This is a prosecutable offence but I am not sure who it is that I should be reporting them to?  Can anyone help?

I think you should go to the

I think you should go to the trading standards at your town hall and call the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ESTATE AGENTS to see what they have to say on the matter.

Check your lease to see if

Check your lease to see if there is a get out clause, for example if you entered a 12 month tenancy then maybe after 6 months you can give a months notice to leave, they should by law have given you a copy of the tenancy agreement, so check it out!!

Landlord's details

Unfortunately if the property is managed, the landlord has in effect paid for anonimity and therefore have hired Foxtons to act as a mediator on their behalf. Perhaps in this case they cannot get hold of the landlord to get his permission to provide his details to you. What you should try to do in future, whether the property is managed or not, is get all the landlord's contact details yourself before signing the contract as the management department will not alway be realiable to have gathered all this information in order to get hold of the landlord, which, especially in times of emergencies, is absolutely paramount to obtain.

It does not matter if the property is managed

It is the legal requirement to make sure thatg the landlrds address is supplied upn 24 hours notice.

This is not true.   I

This is not true.

 

I rent a managed property and they gave me the Landlords address. As a member of the Ombudsman for Eastate Agents Foxtons are obliged to give this information as they have signed the Code of Conduct.

Time and time again, i tell people don't bother with estate agents, rent direct from private landlords you normally get a better service, go on to www.rentdirectuk.co.uk and register your details, landlords search for suitable tenants too.

 

Done........enough said.....avoid these crooks

As a lawyer... they don't

As a lawyer... they don't have to!  I have rented through Foxtons as a tenant some years back and let my property through Foxtons as a landlord.  We pay them a great deal to look after the mundane day to day affairs of managing the property.  My tenant approached me and asked to make a contract directly with myself and him (and of course tried to get a reduced rent). Foxtons hired a private investigator and found out...  I laugh now but I wouldn't bother asking for your landlords details and they are not obliged by law to provide this information to you.  I suggest in future you actually READ the contract you're signing like many of the other idiots on here.  This is why I let Foxtons manager my property... to deal with prats like yourself who have no concept of an agreement and where the UK law system allows for idiots like you to exist!

Good Comment

hahahaha It makes me laugh. People only hate Foxtons because they think they have been screwed over by them when in fact it is their own stupid self to blame! 

I personally would recommend Foxtons to anyone who is looking to rent, buy or sell.
