• So I found a nice flat, but they agency says I can't keep bikes in it.

    They also say I can't keep bikes in ANY flat they manage, and they are pretty certain this rule is applied by pretty much every letting agent in London.

    WTF

    How do you all deal with it? Do you just ignore them?

  • I've played this game before, and in my experience it's total bollocks unless it's in the contract or you've been told in writing/email prior to signing the contract.

    I had a bike in the living room at a flat inspection and since it wasn't in the contract I refused to remove it.


    Anyway I came here to say my landlord charged me for a guarantor check (since I have been abroad for 4 years), with an additional fee, but I have found out that it never took place. I've asked them for a refund and they've asked me to give the guarantor's details again, so they can carry out the operation. My reply is that since I've already signed the contract (which makes no mention of a prerequisite guarantor) I don't have to comply and that they should give me a refund. This is going to be entertaining...
