Yes. Contact your Local Authority. They should have a department which covers private rents (I know Southwark do).
If you really want to screw the landlord over, check your Deposit Scheme documents, particularly the Prescribed Information. Most landlords (and agencies) only gave out the minimum documentation. In 2012, a landmark court case took place where the Court of Appeal stated tenants had to be supplied with a hard copy of the complete terms and conditions of the scheme. If like me, you'll find that you were given a leaflet or documentation with a link to the T&Cs, not the actual T&Cs, the landlord has not complied with the law. You can claim the full penalty. As in 3x your deposit and your deposit returned. The best way to find out if you have the information is if you landlord included a document like this with your contract. If you don't then you're good to go.
