partner rented for 4 years from same person,then gave 6 months notice.on inspection she claimed carpets etc were worn.no upkeep done by her in the 4 and half years.did have workmen fitting new boiler who ripped up carpets and left tools about.wear and tear is all whats happened but on final inspection she said she will dispute,oh she was found in property with no warning,watched house then went in when gone.so partner has been informed that since she disputes and has now decided not to go to the panel that the deposit company ahs she has been informed that her deposit will remain where it is and she has to go to court to get it back.now whats the point of having the deposit safe guard if it cant decide when facts shown.

There is always the risk that the LL will refuse to use the deposit service to arbitrate.
Did landlord have full and thorough check in inventory at the start and another at the end. Deposit claims are all about proof and evidence, and if LL cannot prove the start and end change is more than fair wear and tear, tenant has a good case.
Let LL go to court and "prove" her claims!0 -
Who has decided not to go through the deposit protection scheme's arbitration process?0
