Charging for my signiture

[Allan87]

My letting agency allowed me to move in to a property with photocopies of the signed tenancy agreement. Now 3 months later they are requesting that I sign an original copy that they have mailed to me and that I should return to them. The agreement is well over 40 pages and I don't really want to go through each one to sign at the bottom. I've been told although preferable original copies are not essential and the photocopies will suffice, can I charge them for each signiture?

You could try, but I don't think you'd be successful.

Life is full of traumas such as this. I’ve just signed my signature ten times and it took me fifteen seconds, so I reckon to sign each page of your agreement would take a minute or two (probably a bit less time than it took you to compose and post your question).

The agency clearly wants you to comply with their wishes. Why not just do so and avoid a disagreement?

I'm not at all sure what you mean when you say you signed 'photocopies' of the Agreement? You signed an Agreement, it doesn't matter how that Agreement is printed out (you actually don't have to sign an agreement in Law, your contract with the landlord can be oral).

It does suggest to me however that the agent may have lost the copies you signed, hence they would like new copies signed.
