Didn't get a chance to talk to CAB. Went to the meeting with the original contracts and basically pointed everything out (bathroom had to be repainted before we moved in, therefore, dampness has always been an issue; we had cats, yes, against the contract, but she also failed to fulfil some of the conditions in the lease [including putting it an deposit scheme! Which surprised both the letting agents and her. This was before the law was in place. No idea how that clause got into the lease. Glad it did]; photos of the tiles being broken when we moved in; photos of mould in the bedroom). In the end, got most of our deposit back (basically minus the price of two cheap sofas, which is fine. I owned up to the sofas immediately).
I was very tempted to not pay the last months before moving out (in fact, I paid it a week late because I was nervous). Was worried I wouldn't get a reference though.
Anyway, it ended well. I could have probably got it all back (I think the law was on my side, and I think they realized this by the end). But I'm not trying to screw her over, I just didn't want to be screwed over.
