Default deposit also not returned, but...

I have a similar problem to Geraintheath's below. My landlord at my last flat only gave me back £50 of a £400 deposit, claiming most of it for (completely untrue) damages and for repair works which I know did not actually take place, and still have not to this day. I knew I should have done something about it at the time but I'm young and this was my first flat outside of parent's home or university accomodation and thus I suppose I was a little naive and didn't really know where to begin getting my money back. This was about 2 years ago now - can I still try to take my landlord to a small claims court or is there a cut off period after which you cannot claim anymore?

Many thanks,

Alex

Default Re: deposit also not returned, but...

I imagine you can claim, statute of limitations is 6 years I believe.

Deposit disputes (rip offs) are the number one complaint and have reason sharply in recent years, accordin gto Arla. Fortunately for us tenants the previously voluntary deposit protection schemes becomes law on 1st October this year.


In the mean time I would, and have, fought vigorously to get my deposit returned. You must demand to see proof of work done, and dont be afraid to challenge these people in the courts.
Additionaly, as I encountered on my last deposit problem, despite what the landlord thinks they can not replace a whole carpet because of one mark, or paint a whole wall because of one mark.

The deposit is to cover contributions towards genuine damage, not wear and tear or redecoration.

Hi all!

Stegosaurus,I am very sorry to read about your deposit problem with your ex-landlord.

In answer to your question,yes you can sue your landlord if needed for the return of the deposit after 2 years - you have up to 6 years.

Issue a pre-action notice to your previous landlord's address,send it recorded delivery and allow him up to 1 month to "cough up" - if he does not refund your deposit SUE! It is that simple.

You should read my previous postings regarding Geraintheath's deposit problem
which should help you further in tackling this matter.

If you need any further help,just ask.

Keep us posted!

All the best!
