Hey I dont have any contact with the landlord the agent doesnt allow it as they want it to all go through them so they can charge extra fees. My landlord said it was fine for me to remain in the property ( the agent told me ) so im sure he probably doesnt even know about the notice . Also in regards to the proffesional carpet cleaning at end of tenancy it didn't aay anything about that in the tenancy agreement and they want invoices for it otherwise thell deduct from my depsoit. Im sure they cant do this. To be fair the carpet is the thinnest cheapeast oldest carpet possible aswell.

Thankyou for replying. Landlord doesnt want anything to do with it. He just wants me to continue paying the estate agents. But he is happy for meto stay. Estate agent refuse to even give me the landlords number or email as they want everything to go through them so they can charge what they want. Please help

Hi im new here so i apoligies if this is in the rong section. Please some one give me some advice. I am privately renting a property. When i first moved in it was me my partner and my son. Due to some difficult circumstances me and my partner have seperated. I informed the estate agent it will just be me and my son living at the property. They called the landlord and he had no problem with this. Now the estate agent want to do a brand new tenancy agreement with new fees. Now im happy to pay fees for a new tenancy agreement However they have said they need to re-refernce check me of a charge of £150, and also re reference check my guarantor of a fee of £100. Now when i first moved in i already payed for these checks and dont they still stand ? nothings changed apart from my partner moving out so why should my guarantor have to be re checked when he was liable for full rent anyway? So they have sent me a section 21 notice to vacate in 2 months saying the landlord wants me out. However the landlord has said its fine they just want me out because i refuse to pay for checks ive already payed for?. In the section 21 it has also said i need to pay for proffesional carpet and curtain cleaning and show them invoices for this . There says nothing of the sort in my tenancy agreement just that it should all be the same as the pictures in the inventory. Now i have 2 months to either pay which i dont see why i should pay for something ive already payed for a year ago. Or be made to move?. Also my deposit is in a deposit scheme so if i find another private rental how does it work with my deposit being transferd? Sorry for such a long thread just need some advice? are the estate agent allowed to do this? when the landlord is happy for me to remain in the property with my son?.
