Tenancy review for Sycamores Low St in Collingham, Newark rented from Chris Towle

Landlord rating: 1

Apart from not doing any of the repairs asked of him he also decided to start charging us £100 a month for use of the garden that came in the house contract, didn’t protect our deposit until a year later and even then it wasn’t the full amount. Lied about a water leak to outside pipes causing a massive £1500 water bill saying he didn’t know anything about them but magically knew where to turn them off. Didn’t give us a copy of our contract until 17 months after we moved in. No itinary was done. Then had the cheek to tell us to move out but refused to give us a reference so we are stuck here.

Property rating: 1

House is full of damp and rotten windows with wooden frames that have rotted so much they are no longer fixed to the glass panes with massive gaps to the outside.

Area rating: 5

Pretty but Very clique but that’s village life. Better off keeping yourself to yourself.
