Do I have grounds to claim back relisting fee from the agency?

by aiffone

I signed up a six months contract starting from November 2021. By April 21st 2022, I wrote to notify the agency I would not be renewing rent going forward from May 19th (that's when rent is due). I got mail from termniations stating that i am expected to give 2 months notice thus the notice would be...

Reply to Do I have grounds to claim back relisting fee from the agency?

by Lawcruncher

We first need to establish whether what you had was a fixed or periodic term. Did the agreement grant a term of six months and then go on to say it continued, or just keep to granting six months?

Letting Agents Fees.

by Another Fine Mess

I need to revise my rental policy.
In the last Tax Year with one property my Letting Agent has charged me over 21% in Fees.
The main reason is when it came up for rental although we had over 20 enquiries the Letting Agent only offered a 6 month tenancy whereas I now believe that could...

Confusion with Letting Agreements vs Tenancy Agreements

by abimsalabim

If the Letting Agreement between a Landlord and their Letting Agent and the Tenancy Agreement between the Landlord, their Tenant and their Letting Agent have conflicting clauses which of them is right?

For example, if the Letting Agreement states that the inventory checks will cost £100...

Reply to Confusion with Letting Agreements vs Tenancy Agreements

by DPT57

I would be asking why the tenancy agreement discusses the fees the landlord will be paying when it's no business of the tenant. Any clause of this nature should be removed. It sounds to me like the clause is a hang-over from the days when agents charged a fee to both landlord and tenant. Its also a...

Letting Agent only offered a 6 months tenancy.

by Another Fine Mess

Two Questions (Please)
(1) When I used my letting agent to advertise my property they had loads of enquiries and only offered the tenant a 6 months lease, But am I correct in that they could have offered a 12 months lease. Instead.
It appears that over the last 3 tenancies after the first...

Reply to Letting Agent only offered a 6 months tenancy.

by doobrey

You have an agreement with the agent, and they may have a list of fees. Is this charge mentioned?

I might be inclined to push back on it to a greater or lesser extent, depending what has been said....

Reply to Letting Agent only offered a 6 months tenancy.

by Beswick

With at least one deposit scheme, you have to log in and change the type of tenancy to 'periodic' once the AST term has ended.

That's what they're charging £50 for. Excessive, in my opinion, as it takes a couple of minutes to do....

Reply to Letting Agent only offered a 6 months tenancy.

by doobrey

A sixth month fixed term is preferred in my view for the reason given above.

I have never been charged by an agent for continuing the deposit protection on a tenancy when it goes periodic.
