MUST NOT BE BOUND BY CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS!
The Arch Co have make a commitment not to enforce any confidentiality agreements upon tenants by means of ‘Side Letters’ however we are aware they are not adhering to this commitment. When we have flagged instances in which the side letter contains confidentiality clauses, the landlord will remove them and has explained that this occurs when they have accidently used an old standard template!
If you have a side letter agreement which appears to contain a confidentiality clause, please contact us to ensure this is lifted as it will significantly inhibit your ability to obtain your own comparable evidence when your are next due to review your rent. It is there to prevent and restrict you from working collectively with your neighbours to negotiate fair rents and limits your rights.
