Renting a house from Let Right is like walking into a saloon in a spaghetti western; it's only a matter of time before you get into a confrontation with the local cowboys.
If you ask any local student who has had the misfortune of doing business with Let Right, they will likely tell you some form of horror story that usually involves Let Right treating them like dirt and ignoring any complaint before attempting and, quite often, succeeding in swindling their tenants out of x-amount of money.
To save you the trouble of asking one yourself, I'll share my own horror story.
In my second year of university, I foolishly rented a house off Let Right, along with three other friends. After receiving electrical shocks off the light switches and appliances in the house during our first week there, we were told by Let Right it was simply "just static" created from wearing rubber flip flops around the house. After two more weeks of shocks, we had an electrician ripping up our floorboards and kindly informing us that the dodgy wiring made the house we were living in a "death trap". Flip flops, eh, Mr Let Right?
To add insult to injury, should some form of fire have started during that time, at least we would have had a free cremation, as we soon discovered just a few weeks later that both of the fire extinguishers supplied to us were as empty as the Let Right customer care manual.
During that same tenancy, we also had a serious rat infestation that lasted months due to an improperly disconnected downstairs toilet that had not been blocked off, essentially creating a rat by-pass running from the sewer to our house.
These are just a few of the highlights of my stay. If I were to list all the problems that occurred during my time with Let Right, this review would soon become a novel. To call this so-called agency incompetent would be an insult to the incompetent. These con-artists need an entirely new word to be created in order to accurately describe their level of ineptitude.
Worst of all, as long as students keep renting from them, these sorts of misdemeanours will undoubtedly continue to occur for the foreseeable future.
