by ash72

Not sure how there was the agent has misled the T, the rental amount doesn't increase/ decrease on a monthly basis it is fixed, when the T signed, usually there is an amount which has been agreed which the T then pays monthly. If it's the Utilities, council tax etc, then this should have been realised...

Letting Agent asking for commission of I renew tenants privately

by meyou5ick

I was letting my place to tenants that were sourced by this estate agent. The estate agent however misrepresented myself and misled the tenants about what's included in the monthly rental cost. The tenant had complained to the agent however, I had to pay for 6 months of services...

Reply to Letting Agent asking for commission of I renew tenants privately

by jpkeates

If you ignore the agent and deal directly with the tenant, the agent could try and sue you for the money that they consider you owe.
If you are confident about the poor service and misrepresentation, you'd probably win, or they'd give up before going to court.
If you're not, you should probably...

Regarding the commission, it depends on what the service contract with the agent says. If it has something about "if tenants that we...

BTW assuming they're not renting from you themselves, it's not a question of removing them, they've already gone.

Reply to Removal of letting agent

by jpkeates

Unless the letting agent is actually renting the property from you (ie it's really a rent to rent arrangement), the question for the agent is what agreement do they think they have with you?

They almost certainly had an agreement with the previous owner, but that is something they need...

Reply to Repairs done on the managed property

by jpkeates

There are two ways that agents can provide maintenance services.
One is that they provide the service and are the supplier - although they subcontract the actual work.
In that case a mark up or concealed commission would be legal.
