Firstly, sorry for typos. I am trying to write this on phone!
Our last tenant moved out at the beginning of May and apparently left the house in a tip. We got in cleaners and did general repairs which cost us nearly £2000
Agent said they were not releasing his deposit at the time but he went back to Saudi with his family so I guess we have no hope of seeing any of it and husband didn't want the stress of trying to get any of it.
Anyway
A week or so later agent said they had found us new tenant but they wanted to move in on 21 June.
We agreed and agreed to do the work she wanted done before she moved in.
We hear nothing for weeks and on the 21 June I call agent to find she had not turned up and had disappeared off the face of the planet.
They said they would find new tenants.
A week or so later they said they had and this oerson wanted to mive in asap.
3 weeks + later they are still waiting for reference s.
We just seem to be losing a lot of money we desperatley need at the moment.
To add to this we found out 2 days ago that the people who had done work in our house had left piles of rubbish in front of the property. The agent only told us because a neighbour had called them about it. So we have had to pay out again to have it removed.
I'm just wo.dering really do we continue and hope for the best or prehaps change agent?
We live a long way from our property and cannot get to it easily wbich is why we have rellied on the people to get things done.
Ty for any advice.
