So, as of 11:50 pm my time we have had 2 showings of the flat and a handful of e-mails and phone calls to make appointments for this weekend and next week! Tell me God doesn't answer prayer :) Plus, our soon-to-be flatmates Laura and Megan did a lot of research on renter's rights and called our letting agent (pretending to be me) and set them straight. Telling them how they have not upheld their end of the contract concerning the repair work to the water and other things. The letting agent told us that they could not give us the landlord's number. "That is why we are here. To handle complaints." According to renter's rights it is illegal for them to not give us that number. We (well Megan) told them that and told them that we were prepared to take legal action. He seemed really surprised that we had thought to find out this information.
Long story short, the letting agent said they could find replacements in 3 weeks max. If they do we pay them the 860 pounds, but if we find them we pay 50 pounds per applicant. Either way, we are moving!!! They are tired of us evidently. I think they just don't want us to take legal action because we would win. That's why they are going to start showing the place. I hate having to give them one more cent of mine though. I would rather give my money straight to the landlord. We should get his number tomorrow.
So in conclusion: THANK YOU for you prayers. You have no idea how grateful we are. All 4 of us! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I'll keep everyone posted about the flat being filled and us moving into our new place! AHHHH!!!! I am so excited!!! God is amazing!
