    The police deal with criminal acts, some Romanian busker will not be high on their prority list. Anybody could kill you, the fact that he didn't kill you, attempt to kill you or threaten to kill you probably told them that they should concentrate their time on something else.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.

    well i moved out, i left furniture behind as the landlord said he would buy it, he gave me a cheque and off i went, then i got an email from him saying that he had cancelled the cheque as he felt that i owed him an extra weeks rent. i am taking him to the small claims court enough is enough and when i emailed him back to resolve the situation he toold me that i had too much time on my hands. aaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!!!!

    What else can i do?

    just got a new email from him saying that he is now with holding the entire deposit because i put a claim in against him to the council and he is seeking legal advice before he returns any money to me. i asked him for his address and he said that because i was no longer a tenant he has no obligation to give it to me!
