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.

    If you're a tenant then surely your Landlord should have put your deposit in a protected scheme?
    Yes I'm not a tenant even though the document is worded as if I am one, I may have confused matters talking about that. My question was only whether the agreement I signed was enforceable.
    But you are because your landlord didn't live there. As pointed out you are a tenant in an HMO.

    First I would find somewhere else to live, you do not want to make yourself homeless.
    Next have a discussion with LL. If you feel unable to do this, write a letter & keep a copy:
    I am not happy with (whatever behaviour you feel is unreasonable) and want to move out on XX/XX/XX.
    If you agree to let me move out, I will not report you for failing to secure my deposit.
    Deposit protection schemes and landlords: If you do not protect your tenants' deposit - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
