Tenant Questions

Meg16

Hi I wonder if you can help with my tenant right questions;

I’m about to move out of my current place I’m almost certain my landlord will withhold some of my deposit because I voiced my annoyance of his lack of commutation of two tenants he moved in without me knowing.

I’ve been a perfect tenant cleaning on a weekly basis, and cutting the grass when required

Because of my concerns I have taken pictures before and after I move out of the house and … listed the problems I have had to encounter;

· Without internet for a month
· Changed a strip light in the kitchen
· As I’ve said lack of commutation…

I’ve thoroughly cleaned my room in the shared house too.

So my questions;

I’m not sure if my deposits protected, should I ask him for the ref number now or wait to see if I get it back?
And what’s the next step if I do have dispute
I have scheduled a meeting with him so he can check the room? What happen if he doesn’t turn up?
Should I show him the paper work now( photographs etc) to prove I mean business or wait?
Do I ask for re-fund because the internet was off for a month?

I will even depute £2.50 – it’s the principle of it..!

Thanks for your help…

Without internet for a whole month?? I would take this one to the high court

Was it his fault there was no internet? If rent includes a charge for it, then why not claim it back.

£2.50 ??? get a life !!!

are you living in a HMO with many other tenants ? Are you all on the same agreement ? if so - who is the Lead Tenant ?

I don't think I would want him/her as a tenant, would you?

He can't withhold your deposit just because of an argument, and that's all there is to it.

take your tenancy agreement to CAB and ask their advice about the deposit - shared houses are always difficult in terms of returning deposits when one tenant leaves whether there are repair issues or not
