  • "I can’t even begin to explain the stress leaders have put us through and continue to still put us under stress despite leaving their property months ago."
  • "I am profoundly deaf and can only speak via email or text and I have dealt with nothing but rude emails from the manager Karen."
  • "Abi Fluin was tasked to negotiate with the landlord on our behalf ahead of us otherwise going into legal dispute with the landlord."

  • "The whole process of looking for a new place was very stressful."
  • "I am pleased to say that her efforts were rewarded and we have finally been given the good news that our monies will shortly be returned to us."
