Do you have copies of the e-mails and house inspection list. It would have been much better if you had written (old fashioned pen and paper).

We were promised a copy of the inspection list but it never appeared, we did received a letter that followed saying they would be in touch to discuss repairs but no repairs listed.........

The landlord works away alot of the time and is hard to pin down, emails and phone calls were hard enough to get his response and he went long periods of time away from his home address.

Hi

It is just that if you end up in court, they like paper evidence and are less keen on e-mail and ignore phone calls pretty much.

However, you have the Environmental Health report, or can get it.

Ignoring all that, since your LL has not sent you the prescribed information when the tenancy was re-newed, you can sue HIM for three times the deposit value, any time in the next 6 years.

Please speak to Shelter; it may be that a swift phone call from them will sort him out.

can I ask what my landlord should of given me on every renewal? we had a new tenancy agreement only, they did contain the contact details of the deposit scheme but no certificates etc.... and when we renewed in 2012 they haven't even bothered to update them as it was last done in 2010.
