Thanks for updating your thread flutterbyuk25. Good to read of LL&T discussing the issue in an adult fashion and reaching amicable resolve

I would say he apreciated your honesty. I had a tenant once moving out and she strategically placed items on the worksurface when i was checking the property. When she left i realised she was covering two big holes she had burnt in the worktop and i had already given her the deposit back...raging. She phoned me a few days later because she forgot to take her satelite dish with her...at which point she got told to fe*k off. Moral of the story- just be honest

I had a tenant who left a strategically placed shower attachment lying in the bath covering up a stain where they had put a rusty tin in it (goodness knows what they were up to). I seem to recall getting money from their deposit for a repair.
