The contract is legally binding. Caveat Subscriptor. They automatically agreed to the conditions stated within irrespective of whether they read/understood them 💀 The law is quite ... something.
A contract obtained by fraud is not Legal and the owner's should have engaged a solicitor and fought it through the courts. That's the problem with British Law. Obtaining property illegally is ingrained in their history and stems from their greed and their need to possess everything valuable for their own use. It's colonial law.....hundreds of years of stealing what's not theirs has now become the Norm........
The first couple should have sought legal advice the moment they uncovered the scam website and when the locks were changed. They also should have used the word fraud with the police as this is what it was.
Same. I'm from Australia too. I love the show. I feel very sorry for the people getting scammed or taken advantage of, Landlords getting duped of rent and legal systems taking so long and houses getting trashed...
Yes and your legal system. Your legal system is archaic and incredibly contradictory. This then makes the police useless which is leading to the decay and collapse of British society which I have seen first hand.
The real owners of the house should show the ownership papers/sale agreement of the rental house to the tenants and make sure they pay the rent to them directly. I would never have taken on a pushy "letting agent". You can't trust anyone else when it comes to money.
This system is a mess. It needs a complete overhaul. These people are trash. That they can walk in and do this to legitimate people is a travesty. There must be something that can be done.
I don't understand the UK system... Where I live, if you don't pay rent after a month, you get evicted!! And why can't the owners give the tenants notice saying they are selling their property, then they have to leave??
In the US, the agent would have been arrested long time ago!! There is a difference between an agreement with a tenant vs an agent. Agents have no rights to break in your home because they do not have a living agreement to be on the property
If I was the landlord, I would have told the tenants not to pay the leasing agent and not to pay me either until the situation was sorted out. It’s not as if the landlord is getting paid anyway and once the tenants find out the leasing agent doesn’t have the legal right to collect the money, why should the tenants pay them?
contact an HA associate to make a visit for pest control of the unwanted. you would be surprised at how quick they leave. enough is enough dont go through the courts wasting time and $$
hello from the USA. as i’m watching these vids , as much as folks poke fun at us for having our personal LEGAL guns that many of us have solely for personal protection of ourselves and our property. The state of Florida has had one of the first Stand Your Ground laws for this purpose. I doubt the majority of us never had a need to use them but, being a single mother for most of my late son’s childhood, having my handgun and having taken special lessons to use my gun made me Know i could protect my boy and myself if the issue arose. it looks as though the tenants in the UK have more rights than the homeowners and know they can live free! unbelievable and so unfair. smh
In NY they have what's called squatting Rights which basically means if you live in the property for longer than thirty days and receive Mail you can stay ridiculous law's need to change
Anybody that rent they apartment to a new tenant , you have forgone your right to Hold on your property as a rightful owner because the vermin’s are always in the lookout to hit they next victim , and the owners suffer hardship trying to pay the mortgage or could loses the property, what to do ? To whom can you go and complain, the law was design to protect the tenant , that’s why to take anyone to courthouse can take years ,in the meantime you got a rat living rent free until the court case comes around, The government is complicit for letting this to happens
I have to say that I am absolutely stunned at the ineffectiveness of the British justice system! The police have been cut off at the knees with the laws of the land being so lax and in favour of the 'bad guys'. It seems to me that the police are forced to say that most of these crimes against honest home owners come down to being ' civil matters' rather than crimes against the homeowners. English justice system, you REALLY need to grow a backbone and get some laws changed to support the police!
How is breaking & entering a civil matter!?! That part is criminal! Even a "legit" LL cannot just walk in unannounced! Well at least here in America. UK needs to change their rental laws!
Here in Ohio Rent due 1st. Late 2nd. 3 day notice expires 5 business days after that. Attorney files in court first Thursday after that. Eviction hearing in 3 weeks. Can wait to get eviction detainer if doesn't move in 10 days or save time and 10 day wait by getting it immediately after first hearing. Maximum time to move out 5 weeks. If they are behind one month, they will never catch up as more months added on. Check for prior evictions, prior (not current) landlord, verify everything. Owing utilities on credit report a really bad sign. Unreported addresses on I.D. or credit report bad. No, mail going to grandma's house is not a reason address on ID is different from your credit report and application. Recently updated ID bad, too--hides real current address or bad old one. So much of this could have been avoided.
So let me get this straight...The SCAM LET AGENT can evict someone and the police won't do anything about it because it's a Civil matter?! Ummm, then this couple need to evict the scam agent, period!
it would cost no more than 3 months rent to make the problem go away forever.., Albanians & other characters will be more than willing to assist resolving the problem.., personally.., i'd save the money and ckeverly take care of the problem..!!. When the law ain't on your side, you need to have your methods of law & order.
I think the police have alot to answer for the letting agent broke in a home changed the locks twice and letting this stuff go on, and I'm sick of hearing it's a civil matter. The police do not care 1 bit, they are a joke
Ah the gav narcissistic excuse "you never said i couldn't!!" Grow the f up. If it's not allowed in the contract, it's not allowed.. But they know that well, the whole strategy is to be as criminal as possible for as long as possible. Milk this out & move on to the next victim.
Sorry. I have to add a second comment. I know this is a RUclips channel for profit. Yet, these videos portray British lawyers and "professional landlord helpers" as inefficient and incompetent. Sorry but in truth, a "landlord helper" who is 5 feet tall or 125 lbs has zero credibility.
LOL they saw the money and that's all they went for, Landlord greed is their biggest downfall. A little moustache on her top lip and we know who she looks like.
They should film the face of that first letting agent and publish it all over the internet to protect the public.
I agree, he WILL do it again!
how can someone break in to your house, change the locks and this not be illegal!!
Do him some damage. It’s the uk justice system. You’ll be out of jail in 3 weeks
If he accidentally got hurt, you’d get out of jail in 3 weeks….its the uk justice system…..
The contract is legally binding.
Caveat Subscriptor.
They automatically agreed to the conditions stated within irrespective of whether they read/understood them 💀 The law is quite ... something.
This is the uk!!!

It's NOT right that the cops WON'T put a stop to that! RIDICULOUS
Especially in the first case - it's theft!
The cops dont make the rules. They need to obide by the law just as much as we do.
This is UK folks! I agree with you! England needs to update their laws ASAP ...
They're too busy arresting people who post thoughtcrime on the Internet.
The first couple should have sought legal advice the moment they uncovered the scam website and when the locks were changed. They also should have used the word fraud with the police as this is what it was.
You missed the part where they call Paul & have him involved?.
My heart really goes out to the house owners. There are some terrible people in the world.
I know this is old but the Bailey couple are very nice. Glad they got their property back.
I’m enjoying watching these episodes as I’m from Australia and I’m shocked and interested in this series
I've seen some episodes from a similar series that's set in Australia. If I find it again, I'll post it for you as it's really interesting too!
Same I am from Australia and find it both fascinating and addictive to watch
@@sweethomealamandait goes on here too.
@@luvghdit goes on here too.
Same. I'm from Australia too. I love the show. I feel very sorry for the people getting scammed or taken advantage of, Landlords getting duped of rent and legal systems taking so long and houses getting trashed...
He can not sublet it's illegal!!!!! WHY block the faces of these criminals!!!!!!!!
You really wouldn't like to live in an "eye for an eye" anarchy.
@@ingridakerblom7577 other Landlords should be protected from these criminals therefor we should know who they are!
All illegals now in the UK living all for free on the backs of the Tax payers. Deport them all now and close all Borders.
The UK police in my opinion are hopeless; there's something very wrong with the legal system.
Same as Australia and New Zealand
@@rikidawson7510It's English law that spread through out Anglosaxon world. It's the same problem in South Africa as well as in Cameroon and beyond.
Yes and your legal system. Your legal system is archaic and incredibly contradictory. This then makes the police useless which is leading to the decay and collapse of British society which I have seen first hand.
There are so many scams out there,it's scary,these days it's all about money not people😞
This was a fantastic episode. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️.
The real owners of the house should show the ownership papers/sale agreement of the rental house to the tenants and make sure they pay the rent to them directly. I would never have taken on a pushy "letting agent". You can't trust anyone else when it comes to money.
Love this show from down under in NZ.
This system is a mess. It needs a complete overhaul. These people are trash. That they can walk in and do this to legitimate people is a travesty. There must be something that can be done.
It sure is a mess and so unfair to the landlords
I feel like going mental…. truly
How is it the UK Police are this useless? This is breaking and entering! Removal of property without legal basis! How is this not a crime??
I don't understand this?? Criminals have it made
What do these Police actually DO? They do nothing, help no one... useless.
mean tweets on twitter, arresting pensioners for, they be doing? -Yoda
I don't understand the UK system... Where I live, if you don't pay rent after a month, you get evicted!! And why can't the owners give the tenants notice saying they are selling their property, then they have to leave??
In Québec Canada its really like London. You can accumulate 3 months easy before Boeing evicted... Its too easy... Sadly. But i cant explain why ...
In the US, the agent would have been arrested long time ago!! There is a difference between an agreement with a tenant vs an agent. Agents have no rights to break in your home because they do not have a living agreement to be on the property
Welcome to the UK.
13:00 sad for that guy that he couldn’t kick them out and that arses face was blurred
I cannot wait for the day that a victim such as Gary and his Wife take matters into their own hands as the Police in the UK seem useless!!
So they can break the law and get in trouble with law. Nice train of thought.
@chai_r fight fire with fire it has to be done send a message
watching this video in utter disbelief Cant understand how agency can get away with this . Is the law on the side of the scammer ???
This is UNBELIEVABLE!
YOU CANNOT GET AWAY WITH THIS B.S. IN CALIFORNIA. THE U.K. NEEDS TO BECOME MUCH MORE DILIGENT, THEY ARE DROPPING THE BALL. 😢
dont they register ppl who dont pay rent or damage the property etc, so its easy to look it up for other landlords?
If I was the landlord, I would have told the tenants not to pay the leasing agent and not to pay me either until the situation was sorted out.
It’s not as if the landlord is getting paid anyway and once the tenants find out the leasing agent doesn’t have the legal right to collect the money, why should the tenants pay them?
999 operator: Whats your emergency?
caller: "help! someones been murdered"
Police Officer: Sorry, thats a civil matter.. "
i binged watched all these videos and its infuriating the laws about renting in the UK,.
The laws need to change to protect the owners not the tenants
the west chose wokeism and communism, no rights to property is just one step in that direction
The UK police cannot be this incompetent.
contact an HA associate to make a visit for pest control of the unwanted. you would be surprised at how quick they leave. enough is enough dont go through the courts wasting time and $$
I guess the ONLY way the police would do their job is if the real Home owner kick off and make a scene..what they call “disturbing the peace” 😡
Dont live in England,you see how F'd up the laws are.
I would move into the apartment as the owner 😮
That's what you get for signing a contract based on emotion rather than actually doing your due diligence.
Well at least those nice people got their properties back
Why they don't sue the realtor????
It costs too much and it takes a lot of time to sue and the realator was a fake, probably an illegal immigrant.
uk is a nightmare my goodness
I will move into the property and wait for him
20:37 if there ever was a reason not to pay rent is when have passed on.

Whars the difference being a landlord privately and being a landlord but through the council
UK law is terrible.
In NY they have what's called squatting Rights which basically means if you live in the property for longer than thirty days and receive Mail you can stay ridiculous law's need to change
Since when is breaking into someone's house and changing the locks a civil matter come on uk

Why is EVERYTHING A CIVIL MATTER? What rights do the cops protects??? Please explain why the citizens don’t force change???
How is breaking & entering a civil matter!?! That part is criminal! Even a "legit" LL cannot just walk in unannounced! Well at least here in America. UK needs to change their rental laws!

The UKs legal system is broken.
MY BEST ADVICE IS SELL THE PROPERTIES AND NEVER EVER EVER RENT
If she has a high paying job why does she get section 8 housing?
Can you garnishee in Britain ?
"Unscrupulous Letting Agent"?? Nah mate, SCAMMER. How is the law not doing anything
How do you allow a deadbeat tenant to stay in your apartment for over two years? I would have had her out in a month.
Even UKs ( or may be JUST England ) "Flats" stand "TALL" . ......get it?
So let me get this straight...The SCAM LET AGENT can evict someone and the police won't do anything about it because it's a Civil matter?! Ummm, then this couple need to evict the scam agent, period!
That's why it's constantly referred to as a "civil matter".. someone before you thought of that. 😂
Are the sub letting agent paying the rent in their agreement ? Or just pocketing all the money from the sub tenants
The criminal was a fake agent pocketing all of the money.
it would cost no more than 3 months rent to make the problem go away forever.., Albanians & other characters will be more than willing to assist resolving the problem.., personally.., i'd save the money and ckeverly take care of the problem..!!.
When the law ain't on your side, you need to have your methods of law & order.
Exactly!👏
Gary stop being a landlord and put more houses onto the market so people can own their own homes.
The law is bizarre.
The law in the uk suks
I think the police have alot to answer for the letting agent broke in a home changed the locks twice and letting this stuff go on, and I'm sick of hearing it's a civil matter. The police do not care 1 bit, they are a joke
building has some big crakes in it, for the one that owes 20k
Doesn't matter which country you are in, solicitors are criminals as well in there charges.
Ah the gav narcissistic excuse "you never said i couldn't!!"
Grow the f up.
If it's not allowed in the contract, it's not allowed.. But they know that well, the whole strategy is to be as criminal as possible for as long as possible. Milk this out & move on to the next victim.
More renters = more votes….. landlords = less votes. politicians…..lawyers…..judges breed this behavior
