Yeah, they should be shot. They told us in April definitely not to renew our lease where we were renting because it'd be ready the following month. Here we are, still.
I can't understand at all why they told us that. I was on to them last week and told them that if they'd have just told us what the situation was, yeah, we'd probably have been a bit disapointed but we wouldn't have really cared because we could have extended our lease and saved up a bit more.
The way they messed us around meant we were left practically homeless, have had to stay with friends, outstay our welcomes, move our stuff all over the place, have a few barneys, and basically, feel bad in general!
In fairness, I think it was the builders who give the estate agents the wrong info aswell - well I think it was in our case anyway.
I wish the shower of ******* would realise the trouble (not to mention money) that this incorrect info can cause people. If they did, I honestly don't think they'd do it.
What's worse is, the only reason why I can think that they would do it is because of a completely brainless "it'll get them off our backs for a while" attitude.
