Your deposit should be held in escrow, no? Landlords aren't allowed to hang onto deposits anymore (tho' many do)...
My ex-landlord still owes me £200+ of mine, reckons it was for bills?!? WTF?!? They're all cunts...
ditto. i got screwed out of £400+ from my last place they claimed was because we didn't clean it adequately when we left, conveniently ignoring the fact that not only had we cleaned the filth off it when we moved in, done so thouroughly before leaving including shampooing carpets, dry-cleaning upholstry etc but we'd also decorated the place to a pretty decent standard (it was flaky as fuck when we moved in) AND put up decent quality shelves, mirrors etc that we were leaving...they hung their defence on a "small tea stain near the bin". fucking crooked fuckers. paramount in west hampstead. you have been warned. thieving fucking cunts.
