(jerks thumb behind him) I just ran over there." Right away, the show makes it abundantly clear that Stath isn't very bright, says things that don't make any sense and is woefully bad at his job. When he arrives, he parks awkwardly on the curb, runs right by them – even though they're standing right next to a sign advertising his family business – only to circle back and introduce himself with, "Uh, 14-B Needham Road? Sorry I'm late.
Establishing Character Moment: The pilot opens with two prospective customers, waiting for Stath to arrive to show them a flat. 
In one episode, he even falls asleep in the middle of the road.
Drives Like Crazy: Stath constantly parks his car haphazardly (leaving it partially on the curb, blocking other cars from leaving their parking space, etc.). The Ditz: Sophie demonstrates an alarming lack of common sense – for example, she thinks "bubbly" is a slang term for chocolate and mistook a building for a hospital "because big" – and writes and performs songs with nonsensical lyrics: "So raise a glass of beer / And set fire to the beer / But make sure it's safe / Keep all the women safe". Brother–Sister Team: Stath and Sophie seem to spend most of their time together – they both work for their father, frequently hang out and even go out on double dates. British Brevity: The first three seasons consist of only six episodes each. "He thinks he's the greatest thing since life's bread!". "You're going to tell me who I give my shits to now, Carole?". Blunt Metaphors Trauma: Vasos emigrated from Cyprus to the UK, and Stath admitted he didn't learn English until he was 14, which leads them both to frequently mangle metaphors:. Beware the Nice Ones: The genuinely kind Al often tries to contain his mounting irritation and frustration, which makes it all the more shocking when he does erupt in a brief, angry outburst. On December 15, 2020, Fox announced it was developing an American adaptation, Bren Rents. Stath Lets Flats premiered on Channel 4 on June 27, 2018, and Seasons 1-3 are available to stream on HBO Max. The episodes revolve around Stath's ham-fisted, dogged attempts to become the manager at Michael and Eagle, as he alienates potential clients during viewings, accidentally wrecks the flats – which aren't in great shape to begin with – and feuds with Smethwick's, the rival letting agency next door. Stath's co-workers include his airhead sister Sophie, the soft-spoken, friendly Al and the career-oriented Carole. Stath Lets Flats is a Channel 4 Brit Com created and written by Jamie Demetriou, who also stars at Stath, a comically inept English-Cypriot agent who works at Michael and Eagle, a London flat letting company – that's apartment leasing, for you Yanks – owned and operated by his father, Vasos.
