Are We Bound to Pay Letting Fees? Agency Dispute Over Who Found Tenant

[midlandslandlord]

I think a LL is stretching it slightly trying to be a "consumer".

If you are an accidental LL with a single property it would help.

I have a Power Point presentation written for NAEA Members on the regs but don't know if I am able to upload it so you can have access.

I have read the parts of the Act which I thought maybe relevant, but have as yet not seen that a formal written contract is required. Service of a simple letter or verbal agreement could be sufficient. Whilst best practice maybe to have a written contract, it must be inequitable for written contracts to be compulsory, so far as the terms are clearly spelled out.

I would be interested to read the .ppt though if you're able to upload. Thanks.
