Hi All
I am familiar with LB but have my sis with me who has asked me to help draft her a letter. I thought this would be a great site to maybe give us some pointers. She handed in her notice to to the agency (1 month) to leave her rented property. She is actually not there now as moved into new place a fortnight ago. The rules are that you have to give notice from the date rent is payable for the month, no in between or something like that but anyway she was struggling financially having split with partner and children moving to their own places so has had to downsize considerably. This hasn't been cheap what with fees to move and a deposit needed etc, which is such a pain when you are moving because you are financially in a mess and cant afford where you are.
She asked if the last months rent could be taken from the deposit, there is nothing wrong with the house so wont need the money for any repairs or whatever. They have be told she isn't at the property but have been sending letters to her there; stating they add £36 to her arrears for each letter sent. There have been 2 so far and it is only because i popped there last night that i found them among all the junk mail that has built up.
To top all this off the gent dealing with her telephoned her at work when she has said to only call her mobile after she has finished her shift and when they couldn't speak with her they told her colleague that she rent arrears and that she needs to ring them ASAP. This has totally put her in a state as is embarrassed that work colleagues know what is going on. Is there a possibility they will take the rent from the deposit as the letters state they are now instituting legal proceedings. Very sad items for her. This is all that she needs now. She just doesn't have £650 to pay for the rent when her current is £500. The deposit they hold is £800.
Thanks in advance.
