stop claim court against LL

kanari

Hi,

here is the update

- the claim is now stopped and withdrwan , all I did is sent a request letter to the the court office by fax and by mail

- I managed to get the new LLS names and address and sent to them a letter before action , and today I recieved a letter from their solicitor saying that they dont have the deposit !!! and copy of the tenancy agreement on the name of the old LL

- before the claim was withdrawn I recieved a notification that the old LL has complited the defence form with a letter explaining that she dont have the deposit !!! and copy of the first page of the sale agreement

So now I will start a new claim against both the new LLS and the old LL , and claim only the deposit amount + interest

What do you think about all of this ? any advices will be much appreciated

Hi

I think it would be sueful to link to your original thread, as people cannot give you advice if they do not have the background.

Basically, it does not matter whether tyou LL has the deposit or not, they are leggally obliged to return ti to you. If they then have to chase the letting agent or the previopus LL to get the money back - tough.

But unless you can explain that confidently in a court, you need more help.
