Landlord Deposit Return issue

matski

OK Thanks,

I certainly don't feel vengeful and I definitely dont have a grand at the moment to put towards legal costs, but I feel that I ought to claim for the full deposit back at-least, once I have double checked the landlord hasn't put it into one of these schemes I will kindly mention all this to the landlord and see what the landlord has to say. If the landlord still argues then I will send a letter of intent. Does this sound fair?

I would put it in writing even if you speak to the landlady or communicate by email. Please note that should you not get your deposit back immediately once she realises she has broken the law you must use the specific term "Letter before Action" as a heading to make it formally appropriate should you decide it's necessary to go to court.

Keep copies of all correspondence somewhere handy.
