letting company nightmare

[kanoute696]

Hi, just jumping on - Im having huge problems with my letting agent - they rented out a house for me and let the tenants use their deposit as their last months rent without even telling me, I only notice when the rent didnt appear in my account - also, they are paid up for the year but arent making a effort to rent it for the second time?.. can I do anything about this?. I feel helpless. any advice? who can I complain to?. - can I say their name on here?. I dont want anybody else using these guys....

Do you have a contract with them? What does that say? No tenants should ever be allowed use their deposit as the last month's rent as it leaves the landlord with no cover for damage to the property. When we used a big name letting agent I did a search for the MD and emailed him directly. Got a slightly more satisfactory response from him than from the office staff.

What is it with letting agent? My son is looking for accomodation in around North Cir Rd and Kilmainham. He phoned 10 agents between Friday last and Monday and as yet not one of them have phoned him back. He isnt a student and wants an apartment.
