Frankly, I'd be going to whoever the deposit is registered with and asking for it back in full.
I mean, I hope for your landlord's sake, it's registered.If it's not, this forum is potentially about to give you a lot more money than you thought!2 -
Agreed, do check in which scheme the deposit is secured. And claim the full sum the following day.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0

Because we have lived in awful conditions for a long time, he was very aware and the only way we could improve these conditions was to pay for a new kitchen, carpets, bath panel etc. I hope you are correct of course, we will see!anselld said:
It is perfectly reasonable that deposit will be sorted after the tenancy ends. He has been very reasonable in allowing less than the contractually required notice. Why assume you will have a “battle”? At least wait and see what is proposed at checkout.Cazzabunga said:Thanks for the answers. An update, he’s agreed to end the tenancy a month after we gave notice, however he has again said he will let us know what needs to be taken from the deposit, so it looks like we may have a bit of a battle on our hands, I wouldn’t put it past him to try and get us to replace the kitchen cupboards we bought already!
