No it is not too harsh. It is your money, why should they hold onto it for so long. I don't even count it as harsh.Is that a bit too harsh though... i'm really nervous about sending it for some reason!
They won't be able to say the money is with the TDS as they themselves hold it, but the TDS protect it.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
I decided on the following
With regards to the above property, it has been a month since our tenancy agreement ended and we have still not received our deposit back, please can you advise when this shall be returned as a matter of urgency.
Will send this tonight and see what happens, Surely they can't dispute it now as it's been so long?Annual Grocery Budget £364.00/£1500

Just a thought, do i send the letter to the agent or to the landlord direct?
Send it to the address for serving notices on your LL given in the tenancy agreement (this may just refer to the LL's address and will probably be the agents address) or to the address given on any subsequent S48 notice received since the start of the tenancy.0 -
I didn't recieve an S48 (no idea what one of them is) But i suppose as the agents actually hold the deposit they are the best starting point.Annual Grocery Budget £364.00/£1500

Fine then go with the address on the tenancy agreement. I only included the latter as a catch all in case your LL's address has changed.
Aside for interest only: A Section 48 notice is the name given to a notice served on Ts by LL's to inform them of the address to which the T can serve notices on the LL. A well formatted notice would clearly include the heading Notice under Section 48 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987. Provided the LL has provided an address on the tenancy agreement the serving a seperate S48 notice is normally optional. Where a LL fails to provide such an address for service of notice to a T then no rent can be lawfully due under the tenancy (although all such rent would become due as soon as the LL rectifies the failure to serve a S48).0 -
Well, the letter has been sent.....just need to wait for a reply....then i shall be back for more advice no doubt!Annual Grocery Budget £364.00/£1500
