Letting Agent Threatening Extra Charges If We Claim via DPS

Regarding the painting. How long did you live there?
As a LL I would expect to decorate every 5 years. If you lived there 5 years+ I would make no charge to redecorate.
If you lived there 2 years and you had marked the walls so bad they needed re-doing then I would charge you 60% of decorating cost.
So depending how long you've lived there the LL might have problems charging you 100% of the decorating costs.0 -

We'll be continuing with the process via the DPS and also lodging a complaint with the redress scheme they're signed up to.
Dont forget to let the agent know that your cost for doing this is £500 so when you win you will be pursuing them through small claims court.0
