    Probably a bit soon to be raising a dispute, I believe you get three months from end of tenancy?

    It might still be possible to settle for a nominal sum, and I would rather come to an agreement at this stage. For a nominal sum it would save a lot of time and evidence gathering etc which presumably would be required for a dispute.

    I'm not sure why you believe that. The tenancy has ended so you can start a claim now. Remember that the deposit is your money so the onus is on the landlord to prove the deductions are reasonable.

    Earlier you were talking about court and getting legal advice, now you want to come to an agreement. That's how the deposit schemes work, if you can agree then you agree to the amount returned if not you can use the scheme's arbitration service.

    I assume the 8% you are claiming is a daily rate?
    Yes annual rate divided by 365 for the daily rate. I made the daily rate very clear, several times. It's about £10 per month so worth doing if this drags on.
    Ah! So you mean 'No', not 'Yes'.

    The 8%, which you seem to have magicked out of the air, is the annual rate.
