You could have at least snuck a massive ***** into one of the pictures
Those pics are the same ones used when we rented it, god knows how old they are.
We have a corner sofa, the chav scum that we are.

Just to note, they can't physically force you to vacate by Jan 5th and even if they start court proceedings against you to get a repossession notice (which'll take them a year) if you move out then there's no case against you.Woot woot, officially a refugee from my own home
If you think they are going to get cute about not paying back deposit you could also stop paying rent early so that they have to chase you for money at the end.
Having said that, apparently rents are falling right now as the market has cooled, so it's probably a perfect time to get the new rent locked in and leave your current LL with a nice long void period over Christmas when you vacate early as you are only required to give 1 months notice if you want to go sooner.

You didn't tell us you were mere moments from Nandos. Thats worth the rent increase alone!
That place is huge to rent!
Landlord is going to have to fight people off with a stick. £2k for that is cheap.

The photos make it look a LOT bigger than it is, and the garden is shared and nobody ever uses it so it may as well not exist.
It could well be worth £2k but don't be fooled by the photos, these estate agents are extremely good at doctoring images.

So we all technically know where you live right now?
Ah. Yeah I thought the garden was yours.
Shared = pointless in my eyes as well.
I hate estate agent pics.
Went to see a house to buy. Garden looked. Decent size.
Must have been a 1mm lens! It was so small compared to the pics. It wasted everybody's time.

Yep, let me know when you're popping round, I'll put the kettle on
So many trolling opportunities for the next 2 months, although i'm sure no one on GD is juvenile enough to do anythingYep, let me know when you're popping round, I'll put the kettle on

There are over 50 apartments in the estate, could be a gamble but have at it

Get on the curry before and might be able to hit all 50 letter boxes in a couple of days

This is the thing that ****** me off. When we were buying our current place we went to see so many houses that were nothing like their pictures. I now look at the floor plan and square footage of the house to see if its worth even considering.
We would turn up, realise that the pictures were a complete con and not even consider it. Wastes everyones time so I don't know why they do it. Do they think people will turn up and think "well its half the size I thought it was but hey ho". I can only assume its to get people through the door to make the estate agent look better.
Yeah it was annoying.
I get showing in a good light. But when what turned out to be a slope looked like something flat and 4x the size it's a bit of a **** take.
Google Street view/satellite can help but not always.
In this case it was just 30 min drive. But if you're travelling x-country it's a much worse!
