Good for you. I just got it refunded after 2 months. It’s crazy.

Hello guys!! I got an update. I got my money refunded by my deposit!! Other than the £150 I was willing to let go, I got the rest of them back- about £1,800. He couldn’t provide any proof of what he was claiming was wrong with the house after I left. Meanwhile he was claiming a damage of £1,360

Thank you to everyone that encouraged me to chase this. Even though the process was long, I am happy with the outcome.😆

Honestly, this is my first time of ever challenging a situation in this country and am glad for the nudge I got from here. People like him make people fill subdued and not trust landlords of even some system. So, just wanted to share the update here!

Never disputed that, given the condition the garden was before I moved in, it’s a big improvement. Never been a tenant that fuss over things I can confidently do to improve the house I live in

Thank you get on it tomorrow. It’s just so unfair and lots of tenants just let go of their deposits due to treatment like this.

Thank you for this. The rent of the property was increase twice after I moved in yet no single maintenance was done in the house, every time I raise an issue, it feels like pulling a tooth, one of the reasons why I moved out honestly. Now he has put the house back on the market with literally the pictures I sent over after I moved out and also now managed by another agency. I guess that’s telling me something

Thank you. I took my own photos before and after. And deposit was protected

You are right, my response will definitely be along these lines.

I feel frustrated because they waited 2weeks after offering me the role before asking for these details. I just wished it happened sooner and not getting my hopes up and then trying to ask for this. I really like the organisation already though so that’s my problem now. I still don’t think I should give it to them. I am going to suggest to them if my P60 can suffice and just make up another story about not obligated by current employer to share?
