hi! I need some help with the legalites of renting please. I have found a 2 bed in QR Peckham and was looking forward to moving in in a couple of weeks. I'd agreed with the landlady the rent, deposit and length of stay and we'd got as far as the contract but stupidly hadn't signed it. I've not yet paid her anything and she's now said she can't rent it to me. What is there I can do? if anything? It's taken ages to find somewhere. Is this not a verbal agreement, and is it not binding? Or is it only when money has been paid and the paperwork signed.?
