To contact this estate agent?

[Dobbyafreeelf]

I was informed by a friend today that the house I was formerly renting (until 12 months ago) has come back up for rent. It's been listed online by a local independent estate agent.
When I lived there the landlord made my life hell. From the moment I didn't do exactly as he wanted when he wanted it (like what day of the week I was to cut the grass) he was vile. Over the year I lived there I made 7 complaints to the police. More than 20 to the estate agents managing the property. If I was home and my car was outside or a light on he would bang on the door until I answered or he would sit in the car watching the house. He never gave notice of when he would come round. He took me to court trying to evict me despite having a valid tenancy agreement and rent having been paid. He lost! The list was endless.
I eventually moved out several months early just to get away from him. The estate agents who were managing the property refused to repost the house for him and every estate agent I spoke to knew his name and reputation. He made the female receptionist at the estate agents cry. They gave me a glowing reference when I moved on.
After I moved out he privately let the house to a mate until that went sour too.
He has now listed the house through this new estate agent. Which is run by two women. He clearly has no respect for women in general from the way he treated me and my female neighbours.
So would I be unreasonable to contact the estate agents to inform them of his past conduct? I have quite a lot of records of what went on and police incident numbers ect. It's a very small 1 bed house so there is a significant possibility of another single person living there and being harassed by him again. I feel I should warn people about him.

You could do but to be honest they’ll either know what he’s like or go “what a nutter”. You don’t really lose anything either way but to be honest as shit and awful as that time was I’d just move on.

Yes I absolutely would. And I would give the details of the original agents and the others who refused to take him on.

Yes I would if I had evidence to back up what I was saying as you have.

Yes I would, you’re saving someone from a living hell

I'd get in touch and say something like 'I see Rainbow Cottage is available again. Is it still owned by Mr ShittyArse Landlord? You might want to touch base with X estate agent and Y estate agent...' . It seems only fair to let them know before they enter into any kind of contract or commitment.

I agree with what @MaliceOrgan said.
You could do it anonymously, I wouldn't give police reference numbers as you don't want it specifically related to you. He sounds like the sort of person who may intimidate you if he found out.

Yes, I'd warn them, suggest that if the same landlord, not to rent to a single woman.
Agree that even if you make yourself known to the agent, ask them to keep your name out of it - you think he may still try to intimidate you.

Thanks everyone I will contact the agent on Monday. I'm not too bothered if he knows it was me who has informed them. I've moved far enough away from him for me to not come into contact with him and he has no knowledge of my new address. I deliberately didn't leave an address even with the old estate agents to ensure he wouldn't inadvertently be shown it.

Yes you should. No one should go through that. He sounds so vile and you would be saving someone from that.

I absolutely would and I’d put them in touch with the agent you used so the can chat privately. He sounds like he has major issues!
