Trying to get deposit back!

Hello,
I would just like some advice really!
I moved out on 30th June from my old house and according to the Tenancy Agreement am entitled to my deposit back within 21 days of vacation, or in special circumstances as soon as possible with the landlord informing me in writing for reasons for the dealy.
As yet I have had no contact from the landlord.
As he has broken the contract, where do I stand?
N.B He was an awful landlord and i think he will try and take deductins from the deposit for cleaning even though the house was cleaner when we left than when we moved in!
Thanks,

Only 30 days in June but I'll let you off
It is only 2 days since the 21 days were up. Have you contacted the deposit people?:A
