Dear all,
I was letting my place to tenants that were sourced by this estate agent. The estate agent however misrepresented myself and misled the tenants about what's included in the monthly rental cost. The tenant had complained to the agent however, I had to pay for 6 months of services that were sold by the agent from my own pocket thanks to their false claims.
Anyway, myself and tenants are both sick of them and hence wanted to do a private contract independent of this agent but this agent is saying that I owe them one month's rental for the next contract regardless of us not using them.
I told them that their poor service and the pain I had to go through to repair the damage and maintain good relations with tenant means that you have breached terms and we are not liable to pay for the term they are proposing.
I wanted to know if I am in the right to proceed with the same tenants or is there an option of avoiding these fees. I would rather have these tenants move out than pay this pointless agent anymore fees.
Any thoughts are welcome.
