    Who did you hand the money over to? do you have a receipt?

    Either way i would be making the letting agents life hell by constantly phoning or calling into the office, their job is a go between the tennent and landlord, let them deal with the problem. Be firm with them, they will just pass the buck constantly unless you stand up to them.

    yep, you paid the EA then its their responsibility. Maybe give the PRTB a ring and ask for advice, they could tell you your rights and even saying to the EA that you have been in contact with them will light a fire under them.
