The Dispute Service (TDS) delays and procrastination
Comments

TDS seems not to be fit for purpose indeed it does seem to be biased in favour of then tenant in which case it cannot be an arbitration service. My tenants cased £2.5 grands worth of damage and they sent me a cheque for £450 even though the tenant had admitted to more damage than that. My evidence was totally ignored.
Yorkie1 don't bother to respond to this post your previous comments are not helpful and are inflammatory0 -
This is just an example of how the clamour for regulation will turn into a government scheme whether local or national that will be badly and unaccountably run.
It will be easy to reply and say " but it could if" and then I say how many government schemes do not invariably end up this way.
In relation to this post its about a clash of a tenant's "right" to use what ever supplier they choose,and the tenants expectation that the phone line will be provided working and for free.
I am afraid that the underling problem where things go wrong is in many cases our stupid belief that we can rent a home for 6 months and do what the heck we like, and landlords that fail to prepare and manage.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold"; if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn0 -
It's my understanding that the arbitration process is impartial. If a landlord has not been adequately compensated for proveable damage to their property from their tenant's deposit they are at liberty to use the courts and get their money from them. that way.
Still, I see no particular point in a newby registering on this site purely to bump a thread which was started THREE YEARS AGO just to chuck insults at one of our regular posters other than to be intentionally objectionable.0
