Contract over in two days, do i have to pay a full week?

Do not deal with this verbally, either do not answer the telephone or use the broken record technique: WHATEVER the letting agency say repeat "please put that into writing". I rather suspect they will not want proof of making unsubstantiated allegations that you have stolen property.

all sorted apparently
they txt me afterwards saying they had spoken to the tenants and they had everything back.

i saw my solicitor and he went over the contracts and listened to voicemails and texts etc

hes said we should:

1. the garuntor ( my nan ) speak to them and arrange a meeting to view the flat as she viewed it and helped me move both in and out and she actually did the final clean there so she knows 100%
she is also taking a support worker as someone independant too.
me and my fiancee and daughter will stay away from it for now unless:

1. they refuse to let the garuntor inspect this " damage "
2. they send the bill and take the deposit anyways
3. they cant prove they didnt seperately bank the bond away from there day to day or savings accounts ( from day 1 )

if any of those happen it will be going to a small claims court and i quote my solicitor...

" hopefully if it does come to that, they will see a legal professional who will explain that, without proof they have had that deposit secured then the penalty that would be incured would be more than the value of the bond "

also the contract says a few things that they have breached etc
my solicitor is 100% confident that if we cant get what we aim for out of court, that in court we will for sure.

im returning there keys in a recorded delivery envelope
and from now on 99% of communication will be written and logged.

this all pretty much confirms the advice given on this board!!
cheers guys and i will keep you all updated with it as we go!

thanks to everybody once again
