First of all evict the tenant.
It is going to be tough to sue an agent, but they do appear to have been negligent, if only in knowing that a guarantor was required and then not signing one up.
Because they didn't tell you about the need for a guarantor, they are the only people who could...

Start with agent's complaint's procedure. If that doesn't work, letting agent redress scheme.

(When possible..) evict tenant. After they've gone you'll know how much you want: Until then, how much do you sue for?

It happens, sorry, To become a letting agent in England ...

Residential Letting Rent Increase and Lease Renewal

NickyLD

Hi All,

My first post, so hello!

I've been renting my house for the past five years. Overall in that time we've had no real issues, have completely redecorated, landscaped the place and installed a new deck, pretty much been 'textbook' tenants, no rent arrears, etc. I had a...

It may be that the landlord's mortgage or insurance doesn't allow residents who are not on a tenancy (or they are concerned that it might.)

It may be a condition of the tenancy agreement. If it isn't, I don't think they can stop you.

Kinsey1901
