How to protect myself against high end of tenancy charges

Hi
I took a deposit option when I moved in a flat via Reposit and I am pretty sure the landlord at the end of tenancy is gonna add a few extra charges via Reposit which always favours the landlord.
I am expecting to pay some money but how can I be sure that in 7 months time I will not be left with a huge hole in my pocket?
One way would be rent with the same agency and switch to a cash deposit since this No deposit schemes are a big scam by my research.

Did the Landlord or Lettings Agents do a full inventory when you moved in ?
A video inventory done by an independent video inventory company with a written report which you signed is best way to prove the condition of the property before you moved in !
Take lots of photos and dispute all deductions IF the Landlord wants to make deductions unless you agree that you have caused damage above normal wear and tear.
How long have you lived in the property ?0 -
Agree with you about the No Deposit insurance 🤔
You pay a monthly premium and don't get anything back after paying for 6/12 months or longer.
Being pushed by a couple of the big lettings agents.
Nothing in it for the Landlord except he/she might end up with a Tenant who can't raise a month's deposit ??? ( This would ring alarm bells with me )
