Neighbour dispute or not?
Hello all, I live in a council property adapted for the disabled and my house is a semi. My next door neighbours are a bit, let's say, quirky.

Suing for deposit - does it matter where the court is?
Hi all, I will be taking action against my landlord early next week and I was just wondering whether I had to file at the court local to him, or local to me? It was a house I lived in at university and so it would be preferable for me to claim here and not there. Is there anything preventing me from doing this? Thanks!
