No dogs, no cats, no Americans
I'm having some pretty serious issues with renting in London, and I suspect it is my non-British accent, (or umm, 'voice'), and the new laws making it 'illegal to rent to anyone who is not legally residing in the UK', that is causing the us these problems.
I've called five places. Two with private landlords, and three major letting agencies.
One: I left a message, and got no return call… Which, ok, fair enough, maybe it was taken, right? It was still listed four days later, so I phoned back, and left another message - no return call. So, the next day, I rang again, and the call was picked up, and then hung up on… So, I had my British husband call - He left a message, and was called back an hour later, and a viewing was set up. (Too small.)
Two: The private landlord told me over the phone that it was taken. It was still listed six days later: Hubby called, spoke to the same guy, and would have viewed it, but they do not accept cats.
