Stole my deposit
<p>I rented a room in a student house managed by Agapanthus rentals. Despite the lease saying nothing of the sort, the agent claims that my deposit is forfeit because I failed to give them enough notice before leaving. 3 Weeks notice on a one-month stay is apparently not enough. Also, I got this news only after politely hounding them for the money for 2 weeks (law states it must be returned within one week.)</p> <p> </p> <p>What's more, the agent now completely ignores my communications. She has failed to provide proof that my deposit is being held in an interest-bearing account, and won't answer my e-mails. All I've gotten from her for the last 2 weeks is 3 paragraphs from her lawyer and her comment "this should be self-explanatory."<br /><br />Don't get fooled by this racket. I'm taking them to court for my deposit (it's a lot of money!), and hopefully no one falls for this in the future.</p> <p> </p> <p>Stay away from Agapanthus Accommodation, Michele Milne and Odette Leach, if you want to save yourself some trouble.</p>
