Hello
Im a landlord of one property and a tenant on the other property so i can see issues from both sides. On the property where im a tenant i gave my landlord 2 months notice and he accepted ( i have been on a statutory periodic for 5 yrs now rent always paid early if anything and property condition better than when i moved in ) My landlord accepted and sent me a section 21 2 agents came round and did a few pics (property already had an epc). 3 wks after giving notice with no viewings have taken place i told landlord i wanted to stay at the property he said no problem we could go back to statutory periodic as before . Then he said the one agent had a person to view property and that i was to allow agent to let person view. I wasnt happy about this but i stayed in and even cleaned property more than usual my home like a show home. After waiting all morning agent cancelled half an hour after supposed viweing . I let landlord know and he said that if i could email him that i wanted to carry on as before he would send a letter of confirmation an we would go back to before and there would be no more viewings. Fine i thought then a few days later landlord rang to say the one agent had said fine property off the market but the other agent the one who had made the supposed viweing said no landlord has to pay him £150 ( for some crap dark pics even landlord said pics were crap )
Landlord said that agent wont charge him if i allow the viewing to take place . Spoke to agent who then said he has 2 viewings and that if he finds a tenant for a yr that is better than me even though i have an agreement with the landlord. Landlord texted me to say take no notice of agent i can stay another 3 mths , 6 mths a yr etc.
Agent is being a complete a******* and the property is still on their website as available in a mths time even though i have paid rent until 6th of next mth .
So where do i stand legally on this can an agent really charge someone £150 to take a property off the rental market and i have an agreement with landlord to stay as before so what the hell is the agent doing advertising it as available a mth from now ( btw the particulars on the listing regarding rooms are incorrect )
advice please
thanks
