Ridiculous Deposit charges-Help!!!
Comments

.
RE sofa, even if in worse case scenario LL can prove that I damaged the sofa,and it's considered damaged beyond repair and use, would it matter that LL is letting the new tenant use that sofa, is LL obliged to use sum deducted from my deposit due to damaged sofa for actually doing just that-buying a new sofa? LL can't take the money and go on holiday with it right?
Once money is deducted from a deposit, whether by mutual agreement or as a result of arbitration, the LL can do what he likes.
If he includes it in the next rental, then the incoming tenant would, naturally, insist that the check-in inventory described it as broken, dirty, whatever, so that when they left they could not be held responsible.0 -
Game changer. Just found out that My Deposits have changed the their rules and you can only raise a dispute within 3 months of vacating the property, and just over 3 months have past. I am now kicking myself but relocating abroad and starting a new job meant I just couldn't deal with the crazy LL as well.
So it looks like I will have to bring a claim against in county court, rejecting all of the charges and asking for the rent back all in one?
Any advice on how to go about this? Please help!
Many Thanks in advance.0 -

Let's hope the new tenant has enough sense to do that,with this LL I would extensively catalog and videotape the place.0
