Greedy fucking landlords are cunts.
As some cunters may know, I’m planning on relocating, and to that end I have been searching for a room to rent whilst I wait for my mortgage application to be sorted out.
I finally find a room that I’m interested in, and arrange to chat with the landlord about going through the requisite legal stuff in order to secure it.
It is during the course of these discussions that the landlord casually mentions that he wants £20 to perform the credit check, despite credit check fees being banned in 2019 under the Tenant Fees Act.
When challenged on this, he claimed that the fee fell under ‘payments capped at £50 for the variation , assignment or novation of a tenancy’ – none of which, at least according to my research, have ANYTHING to do with performing a credit check.
Needless to say, I declined the room and have decided to go with my backup option instead, which, whilst slightly more run down, is cheaper and with a well known lettings agent, and has no such hidden fees.
Unfortunately, however, some poor gullible idiot who isn’t as well informed will probably take the cunt of a landlord at his word.
