You may side with the landlay but I moved in 26th Feburary and paid a months rent as deposit and months rent in advance, start of 2nd month I paid rent by standard bank transfer since I dont have online banking and went to the branch to do this on the day it was due.
Never heard anything for about 5 days when LL claimed it hadnt arrived sp I checked and made sure bank had sent it and my balance which had gone down on the day.
I was told it was faster payments and all my other payments I send through my bank are instant.
Anyway I then paid the next rent the same on the day and never heard anything from the LL so assumed it was all ok, and then Junes payment was due on the 26th May and LL texted me to say it was due, and I rang back since I wasnt at home to get the details and then as I am now set up for online banking sent a faster payments online.
Got a letter dated last Monday(have been away visiting niece for half term) saying the landlord is worried since I constantly pay rent late and think I am messing them around!
I can understand how they are a bit annoyed however they claim the 1st months rent didnt clear till the 9th April which is either untrue or was affected due to the Easter Holidays, and they claim each month since then its been paid over 7 days late.
The landlord asks/demands I show proof that I have set up a direct debit as per the contract(it doesnt say anywhere about it) and to pay that months rent that same day when I already sent payment.
So you may side with the LL but I feel a bit annoyed as I basically feel as if the landlord assumes I am messing them around on purppose and is overreacting a little since its not as if I am months in arrears or weeks in arrears and I pay the exact rent and also when I moved in I said I was a student and if she wasnt happy with that I could pay 3 months rent in advance and she said its ok so I feel I have made an effort.
Just wondering peoples thoughts on this issue.
