I have rented my flat out with an agent for the last few years. The current tenant has been in the flat for a year and very good he is too! Time for renewal and I am doing this on a periodic tenancy with no management from the agent. Their T's and C's say that I must pay the full finders fee again for this year and I am very happy to take on the providing of the priodic tenanvy mysefl and dont see why I should have to pay this to them as well as the mysterious £115+VAT landlords fee.

 

I have not yet signed the lease as it just came to my attention that I am being fleeced (allegedly) my tenant is very happy to go about this anyway I choose.

 

Can I refuse to pay and tell them that I no longer want their service?

 

Thanks very much in advance

It totally depends on the terms of the contract you signed with the agent.

I signed a standard T's and C's but feel misled - surely I have recourse?

 

Why would you have recourse if you signed the T&Cs where it was outlined?

 

What do the terms state?

 

Obviously, no-one here can advise you to lie to get out of a business contract.

Like I say, the terms in the contract define what charges are due.

 

Chances are, there will be charges due until the tenant moves out, whether you retain their services or not - thats how most contracts work.

 

I'll ask again - what exactly are the terms in the contract?

 

One option would be to "formally" evict the tenant, on paper. This therefore shows terminated tenancy. You can then offer him your own tenancy.
