Hi all,
Just after some advice if possible! Probably a bit of a silly one but I don't know where I stand.
I had a 12 month tenancy agreement. All ok, never had an issue with the flat or the estate agent. 9 months into this & I was told I'm relocating for work. I don't have a breakout clause in my agreement so was happy to continue paying the rent as per the agreement.
I have kept the keys until now (28th December) as that's when the tenancy runs out, same with the bills etc.
Got to the property today (after travelling ages!) to ensure it was still clean and how I left it. I was going to stay there tonight to do this.
However I got there tonight and the locks to the flat have been changed! I wasn't told about this nor was I told that they needed access to the flat.
What can I do? I'm obviously annoyed as I've had to pay out for a hotel now and want to check the state of the property to get my deposit back.
Other than ringing them tomorrow to see what's happened, does anyone any words of wisdom? Rent etc has all been on time so completely astounded about this. Can I ask for a refund in the rent I have paid as I don't have access to the property?
Thanks! x
