This wasn’t in Leeds, was it?! My son was at Leeds Uni some years back and we got stiffed for the return of the deposit by the agent/landlord who was also the same person. He had a nice black Range Rover, which got trashed on three separate occasions. Never did get the deposit back, mind.

This was Norwich in the late 90's/early 00's.
I won't name the estate Agent, just in case, but they were absolutely shocking.
A good education really.Yeah I guess it's just standard throughout the land with these b*stards exploiting students

I was in Leeds in the late 80s my mates had the flat above the main dodgy landlords office, we saw a few people turn up and smash his windows, somehow never managed to get a good enough look to give a description.

Nothing to add in specific terms for this case, but you and my daughter have my sympathies.
As a student I rented with (as it turned out) a notoriously dodgy landlord and estate agent (they were in fact the same people).
It was not uncommon to see their shopfront windows smashed, presumably by aggreived previous tennants and similarly there were reports of previous tenants going back into properties to balance the books so to speak after their deposits hadn't been returned on leaving.
Removing staircases or bricking up behind the front door etc. Good work.
I echo those on this thread that say try and get out of the contract asap.
This landlord has always been rubbish and will forever be
