    Yes I suppose so, but does there not generally need to be evidence that the tenant then received the property in that state, such as the tenant's signature on an inventory? In the end I suppose it comes down to what can reasonably be believed.

    I still don't think OP needs to be concerned, unless they actually caused damage. After a 12 year tenancy I can't see any judge making a tenant pay redecoration costs.



    It's a civil case, so balance of probabilities.


    I agree.

    The LL is out of his mind. As GM said, find out if your deposit was protected, apply to the scheme for a full refund and then take it from there.

    Don't give the LL a penny unless you have actually caused damage, as opposed to fair wear and tear.
