  • A friend of mine has rented her property from the same landlady for almost 18 months. Over the last twelve months my friend has been getting letters from First Trust Bank (she hasn't opened them-it is clear from the envelope). Inititially she reposted them to her landlord’s address. I was a bit suspicious as none of the landlady's post was meant to be going there. I decided to go to my friends house and phoned First Trust Bank on her behalf. The gentleman I spoke to at First Trust Bank had a long list of questions, the landlord’s name her current address, the tenant's details and then said they would investigate whether she could legallylet out the property or if it was an offence without consent to let. Can you shed anymore light on this?
