I moved out of this property in June after a year tenancy, and I can honestly say it was the worst tenancy of my life. The property was in a terrible state when we moved in, with lots of furniture broken, worn and ripped carpets, a broken fridge and generally filthy condition. We reported this through the maintenance site we were given, however these problems took months to fix if they were even fixed - my broken draws in my room took 10 months to even be looked at. This was an ongoing problem throughout the tenancy, in which time the oven broke, the fridge broke, and the ceiling in the living room collapsed to name a few of the problems. On top of this, our house had a mouse infestation that we weren’t made aware of when we moved in, and which after months was never sorted. Although the agency did send out pest control, the problem was huge holes in the kitchen behind the cupboards which took months to be fixed, and other holes in the house which were never fixed. For almost half of the tenancy I had to sofa surf between friends houses, as there were mice in my upstairs room pooing all over the carpets and even in my bed, and running around at night. We were given rent reduction for the last month, totalling £50 - an amount which didn’t even begin to cover the cost of mouse traps and supplies throughout the year and the cost of having to live in alternative accommodation while the house was literally uninhabitable. The agency showed no empathy whatsoever for this problem and said things like “there wasn’t much they could do” and it wasn’t their fault and “we should have asked if there were mice when we moved in”, despite admitting that they wouldn’t live in the property or allow their daughters to live there. In particular, Rachel, Tara and Sylvia were rude, nasty and uncaring on the phone when me and my housemates called in distress. To top this off, the agency have now taken money off our deposit for a carpet clean, even though the carpet was in horrendous condition when we moved in, and also had mice pooing and weeing on it all year. They have also charged us for a light bulb that was working fine when we moved out. I think that this is shameful given what we went through in that property. We have disputed these charges to Deposit Protection Service. I genuinely feel so sorry for the next tenants living in the property, or anyone dealing with Railton Meeks agency - I would hope the agency feel some remorse for ruining young people’s lives and putting them through what we went through. I expressed this to Tara at Railton Meeks over email and was ignored.
