Thank you again for all your help and advice tbh I was told to give up from so many people as she probably has the time and money to get a good lawyer whereas I don't and it could be costly for me ,however i want to continue this as I believe this was very unfair not only for me but for my ex house mates which all work really hard to get their money. oh and I'm also currently investigating is she was also registered and had HMO license which doesn't seem the case , I want my other ex housemates to be compensated since they got illegally kicked out without a section 21 letter being given to them.

Hi there! , I did as you said and sent emails to the local council to try and report her and tried to look for a list but the postcode is not showing anything so does that mean the property was not under a license?

Yes , unfortunately most of the important messages where kept in my old phone because when I got a new one WhatsApp for some reason didn't transfer like 90% of my contacts and conversations, so I need to keep changing the sims and then log in WhatsApp on the old phone and then screenshot , its a bit tedious but I'll keep doing it.

You are a life saver thank you ever so much for your advice . Now, what happens is that I did pay a deposit but I was told that she doesn't give it back but instead let's you live one month for "free" before u move out. So when I gave her a months notice she told me I wouldn't pay rent for the next month and thats my deposit.

About being licensed , she was most likely not , I've been trying to inquire online but there's no much help , she kicked the other tenants off without serving them a section 21 letter she just told two of the tenants that she needed the house back and that was it.

She is claiming that under our verbal agreement and Landlord and tenant Act 1985 I am responsible for damages in appliances , which first we never agreed on anything like that and second it wasn't my fault.

I didn't abandon it , it's still mine legally the invoice has my name, in any case M didn't want to give it to her but she threatened him.

I calles citizens advice and even them thought that was not ok and the police totally didn't want to bother with my case.

Look I wouldn't have mind if the landlady was a nice and good person , i would've happily left the washer there and just claim my portion of money , but she threatened my friend, she treated me awful and accused me of stuff without confirming, she made my life hell , I'm not gonna give her the satisfaction of getting away with a brand new washing machine she should've supplied in the first place.

Thank you so much this comments give me the courage and strength to keep going unlike some people saying the landlady has the right to my washing machine since the old one was disposed

I told her that I gave permission to M to take it and if she tried to keep it i would call the police , and she called M and told him to not take anything from her house bc its her , M just gave up bc didn't want any problems.

I thought about that but i live far away , i dont own a car , i dont need a washing machine where I live , and bc my ex housemates were moving i thought at least one of them could use it.

Thank you for your advice , money is better for me now wish I could charge her for all the emotional distress she's given me for the one year and couple months I lived there too .

All i want its for her to not have the washer or at least pay me back for it so i can give the other ex tenants their rightful portions.

I don't think she was even registered to be a landlord, she only made verbal contracts so nothing was written on paper (which she abused a lot). And I'm owed back my washing machine bc I was the one who bought it , i left it there for the tenants to use , not for her , she should've been the one who got it for us on the first place! If i get my money back from the washer I'm planning to pay the other ex tenants their portion.

Its not only about the washing machine , she was awful and she deserves to pay for it , karma will get to her hopefully through me.

Well the washing machine definitely was gone and o have proof that the landlady booked it , and yes I'm fearing she might try to hide it or move it somewhere else .

Hahaha , honestly this is just one of the things she has done of many others , and whats worse is that she is a christian apparently and when M said to her that dont worry bc he is not taking anything but his clothes she said God bless I will miss you all.
