Agencies?!?
Have you ever had to move into a new place for, say, a better job or a better location? I am sure many of the people reading this would find themselves the hero of this story and this would be absolutely right to claim. The truth is there are many commercial property agents that do their jobs honestly and without considering any cheats on their clients. However, when it comes to residential property, my opinion differs - I have recently been cheated by an agency for my tenancy deposit and a bit of research shows that the unregulated property agencies in the UK have done this to many other people.
I moved into a property for the duration of one year and I paid a deposit. After I understood I would be relocated to another office i decided not to renew my tenancy agreement. But this is when I realized that the amount of money I paid as a deposit would not be returned to me as it should be once the property is given back in good condition and without any additional damages incurred.
I stayed in this property for one year without even being able to change an inch - everything I found there I left in perfect condition. But then the deposit I gave was not returned - the people from the agency made some ridiculous checks on the property and they announced that the money I invested as a deposit has been exhausted for ’cleaning procedures, refreshment of the flat after leave and garbage collection’. I do not quite understood these reasons as I left the place in almost perfect condition excluding a broken glass that I accidently dropped.
So the unregulated estate agency procedures keep taking victims - some 100 people are complaining from unfair treatment by their agencies almost every weak. My question is when would the government start regulating the estate rental market and when would tenants get some actual state protection for their money inputs and invested deposits.
