The biggest scam agency in birmingham. At the commencement of your housing they act all nice and professional but once those contracts have been signed, they are the most un-professional property agency. I was under contracts with Rhubarb for 2 years and during my time from the first day of move in - there was no hot water in the apartment... boiler was not working. How can you not have hot water on your first day. This was after flying several hours from the U.S to birmingham. Fast forward months later, there were leaks from the bathroom which were never fixed from the point of complaints till i moved out. Additionally, I had no heating in the apartment for several months, contravening legislation on provision of heating. Imagine living in a "luxury" apartment costing thousands monthly and despite complaints not having heating. I had no heating for over 4 months despite complaints, and throughout the winter! Imagine living in an apartment at minus degrees with no heating. Of course I fell ill due to the agency's incompetence. Legislation advises that no tenant should be without heating for more than 24 hours. My lawyers are filing a case against them based on this hazard which negatively affected me for several months. Additionally, after leaving the apartment, scrupulous charges including charges to stained carpets and curtains (which were identified on the move-in invoice as dirty and stained), in addition to items not on the invoice have been attempted to be charged to myself. Thankfully, the deposit is in dispute with the DPS. My advise to all international students, who are usually their targets, and indeed anyone searching for housing in the Midlands to avoid this particular agency.... Except of course you would like to spend a whole winter without heating in an apartment you paid for.
