Tenancy review for 40 Sackville Road in Deiniol, Bangor rented from Delyth Kendrick

Landlord rating: 1

Beyond abysmal and without any morals or regard for her tenants or their privacy or property. She frequently treated the place as though the tenants did not exist/ had no right to live there.

- She would frequently turn up and let herself in without prior notice, on some occasions when tenants were not present.
- She moved other people into the house without notifying the other tenants beforehand.
- She moved tenants personal objects about the house and attempted to dispose of others (such as soap, shampoo & a small drinking glass that had nothing wrong with it) as well as stealing the washing up liquid.
- One morning she turned up before 9:00 AM and, without giving any warning, changed the lounge into a large double bedroom (despite renting the house as having a lounge and continuing to fraudulently advertise as such)
- Despite doing this, she left all the personal items that were stored in there (including expensive electronics and sports equipment) in the room and then said NOTHING to ANYBODY about what she had done.
- One time stood in the car park opposite staring at the house for at least half an hour.
- Completely filled up the main bins, meaning the kitchen bin could not be emptied for two weeks
- Did not conduct repairs in any reasonable time frame.
- The contract, despite looking good on the surface, turned out to be bogus and clearly copy/pasted from a different property.

She completely abused her position as landlord and acted in ways that were heinous, obtrusive and beyond the pale. Her behaviour was completely unprofessional and not the sort of behaviour conducted by any decent human being. She was, overall, a horrible and nasty lady who, like the house, seemed reasonable on the surface but was actually not. There were honestly times, when she was present in the house, that I did not want to leave my room. Because of her this did not feel like a home, but a prison.

I would advise anybody thinking of renting off this lady to seriously reconsider.

Property rating: 3

The property was in a generally good condition, although there were some minor issues such as old, worn out wallpaper and some furnishings (such as the second fridge and upstairs shower) that did not work properly. Whilst the house seemed good enough on the surface, closer and more thorough inspection revealed it was not well maintained. The kitchen and the lounge were the two nicest rooms.

Also, despite the advert saying the rooms had plenty of storage space, this was most certainly not the case.

Area rating: 7

The neighbourhood was reasonable, close to the shops and the university, with a supermarket next door. The only real issue was the frequent and terrible singing from the neighbouring property.
