I'm moving to a new area and have found the perfect house in the perfect location. The letting agent has been quite slow from the start, but when the tenancy agreement came though, I noticed the rent would be due on 27th of each month. We get paid on 30th, so I emailed the letting agent to politely ask them if we could move the payment date to the 30th of each month to coincide with when we get paid?
The reply was this:
Dear Mrs Ziggie,
The rental payment should be made on the 28th each month due to the bank
transaction system which it takes time, around 4 days, to send to the
landlord as well as to receive the rent from the tenant. To manage this, you
may need to save money to pay the rent on time, I suppose.
Regards,
Letting Agent
I am not asking for the earth here! I'm not asking for a rent reduction, and I've never missed a payment in my life.
AIBU to think that I am a bloody customer, paying an absolute fortune for this house and I deserve to be treated with respect, especially when I've been nothing but polite and courteous in our exchanges? I'm more than a little under pressure at the moment and someone speaking to me like I'm the scum under her shoe is fucking not on.
