    Posting before reading your last post, so understand there is not court battle yet.

    No there is no court battle the issue has been settled. In response to your previous post the check in report did not state anything like the property is assumed to be in good working order.

    no I don't think they wanted the headache of going to court or they didn't think they would win. - Since you aren't suing the agent I doubt either of these things crossed their mind.

    In my case a protection scheme held my deposit - Excellent, which is why I said earlier if you ad used the ADR service... but deductions go back to the letting agent or the landlord. - it's the landlord. Quoting an excessive price to fix something that was broken/not cleaned from the start also seemed to be the case in my situation. So yes letting agents can screw you. - ok.

    I'm not suing anybody at the moment since I have got all my deposit back.


    Which is why your post makes little sense

    Why would the agent want to go to court, they already have your deposit. (read Agent as LL)


    The onus is on you to get it back....
