I fucking hate #English landlords/letting agencies. I haven't had a single positive/neutral experience in this fucking country when renting a place.
The renting system is already broken in the #UK in which you are almost guaranteed to lose part of your deposit but as an #immigrant it's about 10x worse. You have two options, either pay 6-12 months upfront or have a **UK-based** guarantor that will pay in case you don't. So as immigrants we are basically forced to pay a whole year in advance... so f-ing #unfair.
And regarding getting your deposit back in the UK:
Move into a place with some defect (broken tile in kitchen) -> moving out get charged £700 as whole kitchen floor needs to be redone and get blamed for broken tile ->Go back to the moving inventory with pictures to show the pictures of when I moved in -> agency refuses to give deposit back -> file complaint with deposit agency -> get back £100 out of my £700 deposit for "excessive damage" to some tile that was already broken when I moved in........
@zpartacoos Move to the US. No man deserves to be stuck on an island.
