Hello friends
Was after a bit of TEF wisdom if possible. Signed a 12 month tenancy contract last week, move out this weekend - we had a call from the estate agents yesterday to say that some of the furniture (namely, bed & sofa) were not going to be provided - the agreement signed, and their original advertisment, includes both of these. Said this wasn't on but they said the landlord has made the decision and tough luck.
Any thoughts on the best way to tackle this? Tempted to complain like hell as its a big inconvinience, and of course cost, especially at such short notice.
Various things like this happened in my uni days but frankly I never gave a shit as a layabout student so all new to me.

If there is an inventory (including these items) which is part of the tenancy agreement then they have to provide the listed items.
If not then I don't think you've got a leg to stand on.p

If it's in the agreement they have to provide it, or reduce the rent if they don't - you pay more for a furnished property.

Yeah, that sounds out of order, especially if it's in the signed agreement. Generally I've found with estate agents that they'll try anything so you need to complain as loudly as possible. One of my flatmate's fathers walked in, sat on their managers desk and said he wasn't going to move until they refunded her rent.
Bit extreme but it worked.

DMR - I am a landlord and rent out a property and if you have a signed copy of the rental agreement it has to be as furnished. All furnished properties will have an inventory listing all items within the flat. Don't deal with Estate Agents myself as quite frankly some can be robbing bast???s.

What they said. Threaten to chargeback the deposit (if possible) or take legal action.... whinge and minge as much as possible and they'll back down. If you don't have an inventory, print a copy of the advert.

If you signed a tenancy agreement and there was a listed Inventory with said bed & sofa, then tell the estate agent in no uncertain terms to sort it out.
Failing this, knock the cunt's teeth down his throat.
