Dispute succesful..full deposit returned!

:j..some of you may remember my previous threads regarding my LL who had claimed that we had used central heating oil from his oil tank despite it being empty when we moved in...we have today learned that after 5 months..we have been awarded the full amount back (£1050):D....and better still our baby girl arrived 11 days ago 3 weeks early..so the cash is very welcome..heres to putting that particular renting experience behind us and thanks to everyone that advised..

I bet the LL is funming:rotfl:

    Congrats all round -- I remember your story and I'm very glad you stood up for yourselves!

    Hurrah on baby girl - a spring baby - best wishes!!!
  • Great news all round! I never doubted that your shyster landlord wouldn't get their hands on your deposit but it's so good to see it in black and white.

    I remember the original thread!

    Congratulations on both the money and your little girl!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
