Dodgy ‘guaranteed rent’ firm RHP is STILL in business, says another fed-up landlord

Author admin    Category Uncategorized     Tags

Dodgy rent-to-rent firm RHP Lettings – previously exposed on TV’s Slum Landlords, Nightmare Tenants – has been up to its old tricks again.

Another fed-up landlord who has put up with late payments for years is now desperate to break free from her agreement with the London-based outfit.

The landlord – who wants to remain anonymous for fear of retribution – first signed her flat up with RHP Services (as it was known before changing its name) a few years ago and says she grew used to its poor communication, service – and excuses.

“In 2020, after finding some appalling reviews on allAgents, I got really fed up and even thought about tracking down who they were actually letting my property to,” she tells LandlordZONE. “I thought this might put pressure on them to start making payments again.”

That year, Landlord Action’s Paul Shamplina highlighted the story of a landlord who warned others not to use the company after it failed to pass on rent and mismanaged his properties. Shamplina explained how he had received numerous complaints against RHP Services/Lettings, from those in similar situations.

This landlord says her rent payments stopped again in the summer. She now wants her property back but is uncertain whether a simple year-long contract signed with RHP years ago is still valid.

“I wouldn’t want to evict anyone so I’m trying to work out what the best thing is to do,” she adds. “Looking back, I was naïve. But once you’re in their clutches it’s hard to get out.”

LandlordZONE has approached RHP Lettings for comment.
