Hi everyone
a friend of mine found a place through an agency, she made an offer which was accepted, signed the contract... and then, a week before moving in, they contacted her saying the landlord went for someone else? I assume he just found someone willing to pay more but, what the hell, is he entitled to do that, after a contract has been signed?
So she had to rush to find another place, the agency "helped her" but they ended up giving her a flat with a lot of issues (like moisture on the walls, water leaking...) so now she is stuck there.
Is there anything she can do about it?
And what to do if something like this happens again (a landlord who changes his mind after signing the contract)?
