Easy Property (part of the Easyjet empire) charges tenants a flat fee of £50. That's all. Hopefully the agents who still think it's ok to invent fees of £300 for photocopying one piece of paper will be put out of business before long.

Hi Letting Agent Today. Thanks for publishing our work! We appreciate it. Sorry you were 'without success' when you tried to contact us. Did you try using any of the ways we describe openly on our website? There's an email address and a Twitter account, and we put phone numbers on all the press releases we sent out about the story. We didn't receive any communication from you, which is strange. Don't worry, your concerns about the facts changing between us finishing the research and publishing it are unfounded: we checked everything several times the day before sending it to the local paper, and we met three people from Waltham Forest council to share our findings with them two days before we published them. So I think we can say with a good degree of certainty that trading standards have been notified (that is, unless giving them a paper copy, an electronic copy and saying it to their face all failed somehow). And just to clear up your confusion, the reason we call ourselves 'an independent group of private renters,' is because that's what we are. It must seem hard to believe that private renters would want to start fighting back against the treatment we receive from landlords and letting agents - I mean, renting in 2015 is so fair and agreeable, and agents and landlords are such nice people who act so admirably, how could anyone possibly have cause to complain? Do get in touch if you're still baffled. Thanks, Rosie from Waltham Forest Renters
