Agency Not Paying Rent On Time

[d_etherington]

We use a LA who have received 6 months rent in advance from T. We did not receive our rent in June and after querying they paid it in August. Now we have not recieved rent in August.

Unfortunately, we have now had DD's sent back and have bank charges ,because the rent has not been paid in. Can we ask for the bank charges to be paid for by the Agency. Can we also ask for interest on the late payments?

You should first check your agreement that you have with the LA to see what it says about how and when they will pay you.

As a side thought, there is plently of discussion going on about unfair bank charges, you may wish to consider writing to your bank and request that these are returned.

They have now agreed that it was there error and are paying bank charges.
