Tenancy hell-help!

shehasredhair

hi guys/girls
I really need your help regarding this-I had a tenancy from 2001-2006 in a flat with 3 others, from 2002-2003 we incurred firstly a mis payment of £200, a tenant paid £200 into the mangement/landlords account, lost the receipt and they refused to allocate it to our account, plus another tenant on the contract ran off and owed £400. I treid to take htis tenant to court but with no success. At the end of the tenancy they took all the deposit (£800) -saying they had to redecorate and clear unwanted furniture. Now I have recntly got a letter from DMS saying I owe £900!!! On behalf of their clients-I don't know what to do-I certainly don't have this amount! And giving me 7 days to answer otherwise they will take legal proceedings.

Worry

I work for a management agents, did you leave furniture in the house and did it need re-decorating? Did they meet you at the property and carry out an inspection when you handed the keys back? they should of done the inspection with you and you and the management agents signed an inspection sheet to say everything was ok. You need to contact the legal group and the landlord or agent and tell them what date you paid the missing rent and tell them to check there statements, if they refuse then threaten legal advice??

no none of that-I just sent in my keys as I had left a month early.
