8/ However, the agent (of the West London flat above a shop) did, of course, immediately re let the property again !!! 🙄😡 Bleeping London Estate agents and letting agents. A 20 year nightmare of constantly being conned. I'm so glad I do not live in a city now.
7/ again, I argued that it left me too vulnerable to not being sure of how long I could stay there and would necessitate me moving again at the end of the CPO process. I said I had been seeking a long-term rental, not short-term temporary. Therefore, I was unhappy. Eventually the agent let me go/8

2/ a flat where the landlord was bankrupt and a possession order existed on the house for mortgagees to repossess within 30 days. Yet strangely, when I had viewed the flat, the agents had removed the "possession notice" from the front of the property and then ..../3
😁 Twice I had to "walk away" from rental properties after less than 40 days as the letting agents had let out properties unfit for rental. As there was no easy way to do this (viz 6 month AST) I had to scream and shout and get very aggressive with the abhorrent agencies. The two properties were.../2
