Where can I report my ex-landlady?

The OP clearly says:I’m out of my tenancy and my useless ex-landlady is still withholding more than half our deposit. There’s no reason, she’s just full of false promises and the money never materialises. It’s currently going through the whole tenancy protection scheme process and is now with the independent adjudicator....poppysarah wrote: »HMRC is always good for a giggle if you think she's not declaring it. If she rents without the mortgage company knowing that's also naughty of her.
Many Ts would be relieved that their tenancy deposit was registered, as it should be, thereby affording them the opportunity of using either the adjudication process or the small claims court to argue the return of their deposit.
If the LL has complied with tenancy deposit regs she may well be fully above board with everything else.
The OP says that the money "never materialises" but, quite simply, unless LL & T can agree on proposed deductions then the dispute has to proceed via the scheme or court. It is the scheme that retains the balance of the deposit until the adjudication process has been completed.
LL has every right to put forward their side of the issue, just as the T does, but these things *do* take time to resolve.0
