We are renting through a letting agent
The landlords have been hassling us for some time over various things, and have turned up on our doorstep unannounced 3 times demanding entry 'to have a look around' (we refused) as inspections have been done by agents and they say we are best tenants on their books
We have been given notice for 21st April, we ha bought a house and completed on the 26/3, we have in writing (email) from the letting agents that landlords would like property early 28/3 and would return remaining rent
That was fine by us, so we moved out completely, we then received a phone call the morning of the 28th saying Landlord has changed his mind. And that we have to stay/live in the property fully furnished! We've already moved Argh
We have today received this email
Can they do this? They were not there for check in inventory (just pictures) we know they are going to try and keep our deposit
So how can they do check out?
From yesterdays date 2nd April 2013 (LA) are now no longer
acting as our letting Agent with regard to 101 X Rd.
The current rental agreement will now continue until 21st April 2013 and will run in its entirety to the original signed contract terms and conditions.
This means that on the last day being 21st April 2013 the handover must be complete and keys returned by 12.30pm or before by mutual agreement and that deposit will be returned subject to final walk through inspection, condition of property and any breaches of contract.
All correspondence regarding this must now be forwarded direct to ourselves as we are now private landlords and deposit has been legally transferred to our account with the DPS awaiting sign off

I curse the day we ever rented this house, it's caused so much stress and heartache. We are not trying to be awkward but have really had enough :(
