I went to view a property today, good size, location ok, price in line with expectation of the area. The carpet was really old (and blue) and really needed replaced for the price they were asking but I haven't said anything.
Days before going for the viewing I emailed the landlord explaining my circumstances (employed but receiving LHA, single parent etc) and asking about minimum fixed term contract, next rent increase, deposit etc etc etc.
Got there 10 minutes late as I was struggling to find the location however I called in advance explaining I was on my way and asked for directions.
So, I viewed the flat, expressed my interest, offered all my paperwork (employment contract, payslip, benefits award letters, bank statement) and current LL's reference but the LL refused to have a look and said that there were more people coming for viewings throughout the day and if they needed to see my paperwork later on, I could send by email (?) and I should get in touch later on to check if they have chosen me.
So I guess it is a way of saying that they wouldn't accept me'?
Usually the agents refuse me straight flat and the only private LL I found before this one told me she would call me if I was chosen (she didn't).
