Rivendale Estates Bristol, Bristol
1 ★☆☆☆☆
Landlord rating
We rented from Rivendale as students some while ago. When we moved in, the flat was not clean, cobwebs, crumbs etc. We cleaned it from top to bottom.
Promises were made regarding fixing and in some cases replacing broken furniture. These were not kept.
Upon moving out, we were told cleaners would be sent round to clean the property and that the cost for this would be taken out of our deposits. Nobody had been around to view the property to assess condition and we left it cleaner than when we moved in. Despite calling and speaking to the owner, he fobbed us off. I assume because he knew we were in the right. They ended up deducting a good chunk from our deposit without justification and sent a letter to all of our guarantors (parents) claiming they had found drug growing paraphernalia implying that if we disputed the charges to our deposit they would inform the police. What utter drivel and a shady tactic to send such a thing to our parents. Thankfully all of our parents were not conservative and were understanding. Everyone I have spoken to who have used Rivendale have had similar stories.
Tl;dr, avoid Rivendale like the plague.
