LOL Review of my land lords

Margo Baggins · 24 Jun 2014

Hello,

I didn't write this - it's way funnier and better than anything I could write. This is a review I found on google for the agency from which I currently (for the next 6 more days) rent my house. I am moving out on Friday.

Excuse the lack of paragraphs etc. I just copied it off google reviews (I have removed the agency name and called them AGENCY):

The kind of estate agency Nazis would open if they had won the war. I can only give them 'Poor - Fair' rating because the scale doesn't slide low enough to describe the stench of incompetence and boobery that this agency emits every morning when it swings it's doors open. If I had to describe AGENCY in one word, I would call it 'disgusting' but that still wouldn't paint an accurate enough picture. Every single contract, tenancy agreement and document I was presented with had a error or a spelling mistake in it, the dates on the contracts were messed up, the figures were incorrect and the names were misspelt, but that kind of thing pales in comparison when one gets subjected to AGENCY own version of customer service, which resembles a war crimes trial with you assuming a role of some genocidal despot who chose to represent himself. Not a single phone call was ever returned, replies to emails come in a form of one line responses that drip with pompous arrogance and are clearly designed to make you feel stupid, ignorant and unappreciated, that is to say if replies ever come at all. When one sends a letter to AGENCY one gets an impression that it is thrown directly into a shredder without ever being opened, and if you were to confront the member of staff about the whereabouts of your letter and it's well-overdue response you are told to expect a call back before the end of the day, see above to learn what happens then. I had to request a copy of my contract/tenancy agreement twice and each time I felt as though I am shouting down a stinky manhole with nothing but my own echo and a sound of someone flushing a toilet coming back in response. I am still waiting to receive those and a thought of sticking my head down a sewer for the third time makes my stomach turn. Don't bother asking them any questions, unless those questions are "What's wrong with you?" and "What are you doing here?" Majority of the staff in the agency seem to share equal amount of arrogance and incompetence to an extent that one wonders if these traits take precedence over politeness, aptitude and coherency during their interviews. If you are to tangle with any of them in a conversation you will immediately get a duplicitous sense of worthlessness and intelligence, I know it's a strange sensation but get used to it if you consider giving them any of your business. In one instance they couldn't even provide keys to the property, leaving you to go and cut one yourself. When I was in the process of moving out of the house registered with AGENCY I was told by one member of staff that they provide no help what so ever and in fact 'do nothing'. They will however collect agency fees for collating atrociously put-together paperwork. Since they do not look for people to fill their properties and never reply to letters, emails and phone calls one has to wonder what they do all day and why should anyone give them even a sniff of money or vague interest. To sum up, if AGENCY was replaced by a kebab house that flouted every health regulation and gave everyone ecoli it would still be a much healthier alternative to a shambolic nonsense that the agency represents.

Sound like your fairly typical estate agents from my experience. I've never had anything but trouble with them so tend to go private with someone who is nice, reasonable and has half a brain.

That must be where old Jobcentre employees go when their contract runs out.

Well actually - funnily enough, leaving them to go on to pastures new was not a horrible experience. Not only did I get my FULL deposit back, but it's already even back in my bank account, within 10 days of moving out, so in that respect they weren't that bad at all.

they were a bit questionable though over the years, rented a house of them for 4 years!

I really have to agree with Ljs. The best time rental property I've been in was directly arranged with the owner.

the agency I use to let my own property out doesn't like to give up information easily.
