    Guys you are awesome, I think I had lesson from this experience. Thank you G_M, I just send email as what you posted. The landlord agreed to return my full deposit by using account transit.
    We had contract before
    1. The house maintain by tenant, but landlord will come regularly to check house damage and garden.
    2. The deposit have to return as he satisfied everything before we leave.
    However he refuse to explain the service occurred in 9th of April.But he show me invoice: clean carpet, oven and window totally £500.house damage for plumb liking and do mastic sealant totally £322. There is no separate price list, only shows totally figure.It is a 4 bedroom property.
    I too am a littly uncertain what you mean. I suspect English is not your first language? Can you confirm:

    * The landlord has agreed to return the full deposit by bank transfer? Yes/No
    * The landlord still wants to charge you from the deposit for cleaning/house damage? Yes/No
    * You have now received the full deposit? Yes/No
    * You have now received part of the deposit? Yes/No

    If he has not agreed to pay you the full deposit, do as I advised in my earlier post:
    Your starting point should be a letter to the LL:
    This is a legal matter. Don't use email, or Twitter, or text, or the phone, or fax - WRITE A LETTER.
