I took a trip to UK for two weeks with a suprise shock on my return that my lock was changed in my condo, and was unable to get into my condo, with a note in the door saying " Lock changed, please contact this phone number, agency has many problems, owner has not received this months rent, agency has run away, please do not transfer any more money to agency".
Luckily I arrived around 7:00pm and not early hours of the morning, called the number on the note, the person sent the new key via motobike taxi so I was able to get into my condo.
I have a 1 year contract, and have been paying my monthly rent on time each month to the agency.
Questions.
1. Can they do this, enter your premises whilst you are away and change the lock without giving any notice or informing you ?
2. If you are dealing with any agency, how can you trust the agency that your rental money is transferred to the owner ?
I am now dealing with some-one else, who I have never met, only line/whats app, phone number, any one else have any similar issues in renting using any agency ?
