Are you fucking kidding me you are the bigest wanker i have ever come across. you toffee nosed twat i hope your next tenant burns your fucking house down. Don’t be a prick and as for a description of a person people like you are the ones that give people descriptions.

I own over 30 homes i rent out for over 20 years and i think you will find as long as you treat your tenant well they will treat you well.

I hate people with small balls yes thats you.

Tell you what i will buy your house and you can go and live on wanker street.

I’ve just come across this feed. I am suing my letting agent because they did nothing to look after my property and let the guy wreck it. They even re-housed him and tried to tell me he had done a runner and didn’t know where he was. They expected me to write off the debt. I managed to find out from the DSS that he was in another of their properties and they were still in receipt of benefits for him. It has taken me 2 years to get to court. I am owed for lost rent and damage to my property. Be very careful and make sure your agent is affiliated to some kind of regulator. They should only be used to find a tenant for you then do your own checks. I have used 4 agents, large and small and all have been poor. They are happy to take your money but want to do the minimum in return.

this is the same for tenants….

quick scenario:

I walk into letting agent.
(spikey gelled hair kid stands up)

I said “hello, I am looking to rent a 2 bedroom flat or house from the end of septemeber and my budget is £700 per month.”

He’s replies (picking up a leaflet)
“We’ve got a great one here that might be worth you looking at .. it is close to the city centre and in a purpose build block with shared gardens”

I say “ok sounds good – but it says there it’s only available from the end of october..”

He says “yes , how does that sound?”

I honestly just walked out..

I’m not surprised at how bad their services are (and I’m grateful for you telling us your experiences!). I had a friend rent my property for the first 12 months, so I’ve got it easy for now.

I’ve had (insanely crap) customer services from 5 different companies recently (CeX, TNT, Apple, PlusNet and Royal Mail) in just 2 weeks. And that’s just trying to use their basic services (for things they’re supposedly good at!!!).

It’s a recession, surely these companies need to realise that bad service can lead to a business going bust, and therefore leading to job losses!!!?? But they really don’t understand that. No, really they don’t.
