Very bad for tenants. The property managers claim to be impartial but clearly they are doing the landlord’s bidding. When we moved out of our flat they tried to take over £400 from our deposit. Our property manager listed numerous ridiculous charges - mostly things we could not be held responsible for. When I contested these charges, I was met with belligerent, obnoxious replies. Our property manager was the epitome of incompetent and refused to see sense. Essentially, what they were trying to do was extort us. After weeks of back and forth, despite the fact I’d said in the early stages that I was happy to take this to dispute, they finally raised it with the DPS. When the DPS took a look at it, they decided to award most of our deposit back to us (unsurprising, as any reasonable person with a working brain would realise the charges were completely unjustified.) If you are in the unfortunate position of being a tenant with Martin&Co, keep a record of all communication, and take photos when you leave. When they try to swindle you out of your money, insist that it is taken to dispute.
