Landlords - Renters' Rights?

Oarsman stupid question perhaps but isn't the deposit held by The Deposit Scheme or by some other insurance backed scheme as it should be these days? That means that the deposit must be released within 10 days of the end of the tenancy unless the Landlord can show good cause. Not like the good old days when landlords could hold on and make you sue them.
If he's put the 1 month notice agreement in writing then you've got him.

Yeah, just in the last 6 months or so they changed the law so now a government org holds everyone's deposits. There shouldn't be this holding to ransom crap.
