Landlord review for Wendy Garrett, Aberdeen

Landlord rating: 1
She came to the house unannounced, didn't keep to verbal agreements and charged us an illegal fee when we moved out. She has lots of houses in Aberdeen and often rents to students.

Wendy Garrett replied:
The house was freshly decorated and yes had a striped carpet which I agree was not the most expensive but the reason for this is because after only living in the room for two months she left that carpet covered in make up, two hair straight et burns and a tea stain which started half way up my white wall, Idid ask for part of her deposit to cover this damage which is what she is referring to as ilegal charges. To other numerous complaints, the back door is a fire escape so does have to have a thumb turn lock, arm chairs and coffee table in her room? NO landlord is going to go to the trouble of putting extra furniture ina house if it is not required, but what I would say is that I would refuse to remove my furniture from a furnished house to accommodate the princesses huge amount of goods, she also asked me to remove all the kitchen items to make room for her goods, I refused to do this as this would mean that the other tenants would be beholden to her and they told me they did not want this, I put things in kitchens for everyone’s use and if things get broken it is not a big deal and if I had removed my furniture I would have had to pay to have it all brought back just two months later when she and her side kick decided they didn’t want to live in a big house with other people. As for the comment about my husband turning up with his toolbox to do repairs? Yes this happens very quickly when a tenant logs a problem, usually on the same day, how many tenants can say they get the same service? As for letting myself in to a property, this just doesn’t happen, I am a respected LAS member and have held several HMO licences over the last 20 years, this means that I would never risk losing a licence to enter unannounced in what I regard as someone’s own home! It might have been the case that one of her housemates had asked for a repair but not notified her, she was not very nice to her housemates and communication had all but broken down before she left. Once she left The other tenants were a lot more relaxed and I helped them to find replacement housemates and the other tenants lived happily until the end of their tenancy. The tenants living there now tell me they love the house and are very happy, they are looking after the house beautifully and I look after them, But I accept that in this business all tenants are not going to be nice tenants, You will notice that I did not stoop so low as to publish the Princesses name, but I am sure everyone concerned knows exactly who this is?

Property rating: 7
The house is generally in good condition, all rooms are acceptable but the landlady was very particular and you weren't allowed to move furniture around.

Area review for George Stharbour, Aberdeen

Area rating: 1
Worst neighbourhood I have ever lived in. The entire street is made up of students and parties went on well past freshers. Could not get a single nights sleep in the two months I lived here. The neighbouring house belonged to the mens rugby team who often had parties in the shared basement. They stole our garden furniture, vomited on the building and front door, and caused damage to the property that we had to pay for.
