PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Ignoring the rent increases for the moment.
    Your exLL doesn't appear to be in a very good position, as he will not be able to hold back any money from your registered deposit, also, he would be a fool to take you to court for any other money as he would not win.

    He has no proof (written or photographic) of the condition of the property on your occupation of it, therefore he has No defence, therefore No case.

    As fishpond says. LL trying it on.
    They'll probably learn soon enough they don't stand a chance.

    Hope so! I refuse to get stressed out over it but it's easier said than done.

    Our LL tried charging for damages not done by us when we moved out.

    Went straight to the deposit scheme, raised a dispute, filled out their form and recieved a cheque for the full amount shortly after. Simple.

    how frustrating for a tenant of six years.... Six years is a lot of wear and tear for pretty much everything in the house. You kind of hope he gets a crap tenant next time.

    Ha! Indeed I do! Funnily enough, there's someone already in. I feel sorry for them already!
