    Won't the OP still be liable for the council tax and utilities until the end of the tenancy?

    As you've sorted the notice period (I feel for you)..,now for the next thing - deposit return.

    Have you made sure the deposit is protected. Do you have the prescribed information?

    Make sure you have a copy of the inventory if one was taken when you moved in.., make sure you take lots of photos of the state of the property when you leave. If no inventory or photos were taken before you moved in, the LL will have difficulty proving any damage was caused by you.

    Because they thought they'd use that as some kind of threat to the landlord.

    Let's hope the next landlord doesn't contact the current one asking for a reference then.
