    He may also worry that the original tenant will choose to claim the deposit back directly from him...

    Thanks again everyone, really helpful.

    So I double checked this morning and we do have a Tenancy Deposit Protection Certificate at our names.

    Next steps for us I think is to 1. Tell the landlord we won't be paying anything more as we feel the £230 we spent on end of tenancy professional cleaning should be enough.
    2. Start a dispute with TDS if the landlord/letting agent refuse to pay the deposit back. It says in the contract that the deposit is held by the letting agent.
