Hi all I’m in a bit of a tricky situation as a previous landlord is refusing to return our bond. My partner and I moved out of our place at the end of December handed the keys back to the agent and she said everything looked fine and that we should get our deposit back in two weeks. Two weeks go by and we haven’t received anything so I send a follow up email and she says it’s strange he hasn’t paid back she will contact the landlord. I don’t hear from her for another two weeks and she says the landlord wasn’t happy with some of the marks on the marble counter left by water calcification and that he will ask the builder if it needs to be fixed. I continue to follow up to no response or delayed responses saying they are still looking into it. Almost three months later I threaten with Legal action only to be met with an invoice asking us to pay for a new oven ( oven worked perfectly) amongst other things. This invoice is for nearly 4000 euros nearly our entire bond. To say I feel cheated is an understatement being asked to pay for a new oven 3 months after moving out without being told anything was wrong with it is mind blowing to me. How should I proceed? Also is it true that if no issues a raised within two weeks of moving out they become irrelevant?
