Just a rant.
I knew this was asking for trouble, renting privately to an acquaintance. But she was really keen and I got sucked in to thinking "how much easier" it would be without the agent and here we are the day the deposit/1st mth rent is due and Oh what a surprise! Not here.
It's not even so much that it is not here, so much as that she is totally and utterly blase about it.
The rental is total legit - deposit in TDS, all the appropriate paperwork in order. She was told that deposit 1st months rent was due today. I get a call yesterday to say that the cheque from a third party to me had been delayed in the post (apparently it was sent on Saturday ) I pointed out that for it to have cleared in my account it would need to have reached me and been paid in by me on Friday. Tell her to transfer rent money direct to my account. She says OK.
Get text this morning to say cheque paid in today.
I'm pissed off with myself because I knew this would be difficult.
