  1. 1. I sent an email to the landlord and he lives out of UK to inform him of the situation and forwarded a copy to the agent. I gave the landlord 7 days to reply back (which ends on tuesday 9th dec) as i know tht none of them are going to reply, I would sending them another email on tuesday to give them the 14 days notice required by the county court. I have couple more questions please. I had read through the posts on TDS and noticed they all were mostly based on the case where the entire deposit was not returned but in our case £210 have been deducted without giving us any reason... on an N208 form what amount should I be claiming (that is if can make a claim on it) and the landlord doesnt live in UK and i dont have his address... if i do win the case then who pays my money back?
  2. even though im in the middle of a 12 month contract? shoud I say tht they r breaking the T&C and thts the reason I wanna cancel?
  3. 1. can u help me as to what should i say in the letter? 2. the timing could not be worst..... should all r current correspondance with the agent be in writing or a phone conversation would be ok as well.?
  4. 1. is it worth to sue him for £200? could we loose the case as well?? 2. this contract is too confusing for me....there r 2 lines in the contract that makes me feel tht ur right about unfair terms On the first page of the contract the Term of Contract is 12 months. Then under the 'At the end of the tenancy' clause it says 'After the 11 months of the tenancy, to give the landlord not less than one calendar month's notice in writing of the determination of the tenancy' Then at the end, just before the signatures it says ' IT is hereby agreed that in accordance with the Housing Act 1996 the Landlord may terminate this Tenancy by giving not less than the required two month's notice in wrting to the Tenant at any time after the commencement of the tenancy PROVIDED that the tenancy shall not be detemined before six months from the commencemet date of the Tenancy. Any such determination pursuant to the provisions of this clause shall be without prejudice to the claim of either arty against the other in respect of any antecedent breach or non-observance of the provisions of this Agreement' he wants us to vacate the property by 29th jan'09 and we are travelling from begginging of feb to 2nd week of march,,,,,,,,what if he gets a court order when we are not in the country,,,,what happens then??? can he throw our stuff out of the flat and leave us homeless when we are back....... when we 1st got the notice we thought that we dont mind moving as long as we get a flat in the same building and we are renting a 2 bed flat right now so thought could do with a downsize and move into a 1 bed to save some money (it would be an inconvenience to move just before travelling but I could compromise) but this agent has a monopoly in this building and im sure he wont find a 1 bed flat for cheaper rental than we already have...and also he says he would charge us the £190 admin fee again..... so £380 of admin fee in 1 year....
  5. Hello all, We are having trouble with 2 letting agencies. 1st agent's story - We were renting a flat in harrow till aug'08 and the agent after 4 months of follow ups has sent us the deposit but deducted £200 for no reason. I very well know that there was nothing wrong with the flat and that I had returned it to them in a better condition than they had given it to me. I have recently sent an email to the landlord (who lives in dubai and i dont have his address) asking him to return the balance to us. I gave him time till 9th dec and I am guessing he would not reply. My question is, is it worth going to the court for £200. we gave the depost in aug'07 so it shoould be covered by the govt. scheme, but he hasnt given us any proof of where our money was. 2nd agent story - we rented a flat in nottingham in aug'08 and had a 12 month contract. but the agent sent us a letter a week ago informing us that the landlord wants to sell the property and that we have to empty the flat by jan'09 (giving us 2 month notice). I told them they cannot do this as we have a 12 month contract but they asked us to read the contract again and when I did, it says term of contract 12 months on the front but on the last page they have added a line saying that only the landlord can give us to vacate in 6 months by giving us a 2 month notice.... my question is do we have any right not to vacate. hope u guys can help... we are new in this country and are not very aware of all the letting laws thanks all
  6. how do i do tht?? and locutus thanks for the info,,, i will definately be making a complain... hope that works
  7. yes thts the same letter,,,this is like blackmailing,,,,,'get sky talk or we charge u £5 extra'
  8. no one has upgraded the package for me without my knowledge... the letter clearly says THEY are increasing charges for all Med to Max packages by £5.
  9. Hello all, I just got letter from sky (my broadband provider) today informing me that they would be increasing my monthly charges to £10 from £5. This has just come out of the blue and I just can't do anything as I have a 12 month contract witht them. Its strange how they keep increasing the charges all the time and force you to be in a contract.
