    "Dear Cow

    Further to your recent text messages, I remind you that I paid you £200 deposit as witnessed by the agreement signed by yourself and myself and £100 rent on (date) for the week ending 5 February.

    Following my verbal notice (date) indicating that I intended to leave on (date), you inspected the room and indicated a number of things that you considered to be "damage" and recorded these in a note book. I was very (what ever mum felt) and agreed that I would try to remedy these problems, even though I was uncertain as to whether I was responsible for any or all of the "damage".

    Since no inventory was taken when I moved in, I doubt if either of us could accurately recall the state of the room when I moved in. Since I was evicted at three hours notice, I was not even given the opportunity to clean the room before my departure.

    I do not therefore believe that you have any right to make any deductions for damage and I doubt a law court would support you.

    Please make arrangments to return £229 (the deposit plus two nights rent) within 10 days."

    Something like that anyway.
