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...

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....

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.

I would go to the Estate Agency and ask to speak to the manager, Some firms when someone goes on holiday dont like passing on work to someone eles as they have to share the commission, Like solicitors where when one goes on holiday the job stops.

The agent did the referencing, so the charges are probably fair.
They've also done the advertising and the viewing, so you're going to owe them for that as well.

You've got some kind of contract with them, because you've agreed "something" and they've done some work....
