Don't trust Kumran Mahalingam or his girlfriend Alexandra for anything and keep track of all your payments. Keep all your communications written only, nothing verbal.

They don't present any document about their authorisation to rent the property either. When you make a mistake to rent a property through Portia lettings don't enter to a verbal contract but make sure a written contract is signed by both parties. Just stay away from this agency, they're just scammers and cheaters. We have ended-up in a court room as well.... Read more
