    Yes, it was registered with 'a scheme' but held by the agent.

    Well .... finally the news is good :j

    Briefly
    After much disagreement with the tenants we sent the file off to 'The Dispute Service' on 20th Oct
    On 3rd Nov, the case was 'put on hold' at the request of the tenants - maybe they were trying to fabricate some more counter claims ;)
    Here's the copy/paste from the TDS website which reads from the bottop upwards (sorry)

    And now today's letter encloses ALL of the deposit
    TDS agree that they did indeed enter into a 'fixed term contract' and that tenants were also responsible for 'landlords reasonable costs.

    I've just gotta decide whether to try for more that they owe or 'quit while I'm ahead'

    I'll stew on it for the weekend!!

    Well done and its good to know that a Fixed Term Contract is exactely that!

    Hey George - Would you mind giving more details please?

    The landlord has to be seen to be attemting to reduce the costs the wantaway tenant is being forced to pay ie listing with an agent/advertising property/helping the tenant find new people etc.

    He can't just let them add up and go to court to claim a small fortune.

    So their knowledge of Contract Law and 1 minutes notice didn't work then?:confused:

    I would take them for more purely because of the way they have behaved.
