Hi
I’m in a bit of a bind atm. I’m currently in the referencing stage of a tenancy application and my landlord is refusing to give me a references
The reason is because I made a complaint to the property redress scheme about breaching of the tenancy agreement, they ended up siding with me and demanding that they pay me money for the issues that I was having.
After this I decided to leave a little early and sent an email advising I would be leaving. And the next day they suddenly reopened the case despite having 2 weeks at this point to do so. And have made it clear they won’t do it until the case is closed.
I feel like I’m being shaked down here and don’t know what to do. My last address was with a parent and the one before that with an actual letting agents was 3 years ago.
Are they even allowed to refuse to give a reference for this reason?
