>3 people looking to rent, going through a letting agency
>we put an offer on a house on basis of "we are happy with the house as we saw it" - mainly relating to the pre-existing furniture
>agents say the landlord is happy to leave all the furniture, except for the obvious (TV, speaker systems)
>offer accepted by landlord (who currently lives there)
>take a week to pass all the referencing for the property, set to move in soon
I got a call today from the letting agents saying that the landlord now wants to take all the furniture out of the property.
To what level should I make a fuss over this? Ultimately letting agents / landlords hold all the power, so I don't want them to end up rejecting our offer (would they do this over the matter of furniture? seems like a lot of hassle for them).
But it feels incredibly fucking unfair that the offer we put forward was under the assumption "happy as seen", and now they're changing their minds? I want to dig my heels in but I do not want to lose the house.
Any advice?

Was it in the contract or just word of mouth?

If anything, ask for a lower rent price. You can argue that you aren't getting everything you thought you were getting.

Basically word of mouth.
However the paperwork specifying our offer says "happy as seen", which is vague and ambiguous but did encompass the fact we expected the furniture to stay.
I don't know what the letting agents are fucking doing because we're due to move in on the 14th and we still haven't seen a contract but they've taken around £500 in fees.

Absolutely not, your "happy as seen" doesn't imply shit except that you were happy with what your eyes saw, which is not specify in any form. Plus, no written arrangement = no word on the matter, words mean nothing.
