beautiful new house, we saw it and loved it and made and offer which was accepted. we then went through the application process. i passed, my dp didnt on the basis he is on a temporary contract but then we are told the land lord get the last word and can sign a waiver. the landlord agrees to this if we agree to two months deposit.
its a stretch but we agree because we love the house and want to offer some security and build a good relationship with the land lord who was burned by the last tenants.
all is agreed, then the land lord has a wobble and decided that its not ok and now want 6 months rent in advance.......that would be about 12 grand give or take aibu to think this is ur. if i had that kind of money to hand i would be buying not renting and whilst i understand that they have had bad tenants previously and are offering us a chance rather than just saying "no we have changed our minds" this is a really odd demand?
