Does anyoen know who regulates letting agents? I want to read through some guidelines to see where I stand.
Had a bit of a run in with one the other day. I moved out of my old house a few weeks ago, but left some cleaning up and a few final things to be collected. I have paid my rent for feb and my rental contract expired at midnight on the 28th feb, when I went back yesterday to finish the tidying up (to ensure I get my deposit back) there was a new tennant moving in.
I couldnt do my finishing off as intended as there were people and furniture in the way and the new lady wasnt happy that I was there when she was trying to move in so I left without finishing. I now stand to loose some of my deposit as I didnt clean the windows or oven along with other little bits and bobs. Also, the new lady got the keys on the 27th, so she had access to the house for 2 days that I paid for.
Given that I've had properties from the same landlord before and always cleaned up well enough to get the entire deposit back - would I be within my rights to demand the whole lot back, and the 2 days rent for when she had access?
Any help or opinions much appreciated
