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.

Deductions from deposit

It is common practice for tenants to pay for the check in. It is as much a document to protect you as it is to protect the landlord. You should have asked for a copy. The fact that it isn't sign doesn't make it obsolete, although it could give you a bit more flexibility, however, ultimately, it was your responsibility to ask for it and make comments/changes if you didn't agree to it.
Any items that are included in the inventory that do not work/break down should be reported. Again, it was your responsibility to do so.
If you agree with the items being deducted but not the amount, you can make a counter offer and see what they say.0 -
Illegal in ScotlandIt is common practice for tenants to pay for the check in.
The landlord seems to have failed to issue a tenant information pack as well as trying to charge the tenant for check in
The Tenant Information Pack has been a legal requirement since 2013 and included an inventory etc.
This is now superseded by the new MANDATORY rental agreement coming in on 1st December 2017
