The landlord is driving us round the bend. Not only did he allegedly not know that were moving out in August instead of October, he's now dodging calls from our estate agents who are trying to get references from him for our tenancy application! He's never been easy to get hold of - he almost never answers the phone, and on the rare occasions that he does (probably because he got distracted and answered without checking the caller ID...) he makes up some excuse that he's "really busy and can I call you back?".
Which he doesn't do for days or even weeks.
His mobile number is the only contact information we have for him. We don't have another number and we don't even know where he lives. As a last resort, we do know that his parents live next door to us, but we don't really want to hassle them because they don't (or shouldn't!) have anything to do with his being our landlord and they're pretty elderly too. We need to get the reference from him soon otherwise we won't be able to move in to the new wonder-flat! Just 16 days to go now!

If you do not have an address for the landlord you can lawfully withhold rent. Note that this does not give you a period rent-free, just that no rent is lawfully due.
If you send a text to the landlord informing him of this, it may focus his mind and give you an address to write to.
A landlord. And letting agent, too! :)
