Hello there,
In september I posted my apartment for rent on the web (well know site). However, I got side tracked as my partner was expecting at the time. I have been meaning to rent the apartment for ages but too busy to focus on it.
Anyway I got a call from a letting agent at the time that I ignored as I had intended on renting the apartment myself. However, I then changed my mind on the basis that I was losing money by not renting it so I might as well lose a little less by using an agent.
I then arranged to meet the agent. However, the agent was sick on the day and sent their pa to meet me. She had a look around the apartment and took the keys. I then got phone calls with updates etc. on how the apartment was going and the few odds and ends of furniture that were required etc. then a few weeks later it was confirmed that a tenant had been found and that we must meet up to sign leases etc.
One week I got an apology for the unreturned phone calls as they were moving office the next week I got an apology from the lad saying that he was sorry for not getting back to me as his grand father had fallen ill. It is not almost two months and still no agreements signed by my!
The mobile number I have for him is not connecting nor is the mobile number for his colleagues. I keep leaving messages on the office number but with no responses.
Can someone please advise me as to what I should do to rectify the situation.
If I have been scammed I have been scammed and need to minimise my losses. I have to admit I had a bad feeling about this people from an early stage but still proceeded with them!!!
Thanking you in advance.
