I have had a house fully managed by a letting agent for 10 years, its on a periodic STA the tenancy agreement has a guarantor. The agents have made a lot of mistakes they asked me if I would do another tenancy agreement as the tenants wife has left. I said that I wouldn't when they told me that he could not get a guarantor or references. I told them I didn't want another tenancy agreement, and just to leave as a periodic STA as rent often late and house poorly maintained. I have now just heard that they have drawn up another tenancy agreement without telling me. Is there anything I can do about this?

by annam222Hello all,
I wondered if anyone could give me some advice please.
Tenants who have been renting my one bed flat for the past three years have just given notice that they will be moving out. I have used a local agent on a ‘let & rent collection’ basis which has worked well but they...-

Reply to Agent vs Open Rentby BeswickTheir process is about as simple as they could possibly make it. If you're logging into this forum and posting, it won't be a huge stretch of your abilities to get your property listed on OpenRent.
Yes, I used their referencing service (£20 per person, plus £20 for any guarantor). I...-

Reply to Agent vs Open RentI am a huge fan of Openrent. There are lots of threads showing users experiences of Openrent on these forums. If you type Openrent into the search box at the top of the page on the main forum home page you will see them.
If you decide not to use Openrent, and so use a traditional agent,...-

Does the Open Rent site guide you through the steps of the process? I.e. advertise, meet/accept, reference etc?
Did you use...-

Reply to Agent vs Open Rentby BeswickI've used agents for 'tenant find only'.
After a bad eperience, I used OpenRent. I've now used them twice and got great tenants both times.
It's so much better to have complete control. You get a gut feeling for the tenant when you phone them to arrange the viewings, even...-

Reply to Agent vs Open Rentby JBJ01In the window of a rogue agent!
-the one's who actually benefit when a rogue tenant brings the landlord back to them much more often than a streetwise OpenRent landlord needs to re-let. My 'fees' are on average £29 for an average 4 year let, with rents only below market rate for exceptionally...-

Reply to Agent vs Open Rentby junglerowerI have always done it without an agent; It is my show after all. I usually can filter out the right tenant by having a conversation through mailing. The referencing I do through a previous landlord or agent - big name agents is best though, as they are more thorough in their screening; if the Tennant...
