Thanks for the advice, that does give a different perspective.

Yeah I have exactly the same concerns

UPDATE!!! They've now come back and offered my partner a conditional final settlement of 6k based on the fact he DOESN'T take an MRI scan tomorrow. This has now put us in a catch 22 situation, do we take the money and have a guaranteed chance to move next week or take the MRI scan which could show up any number of problems with the knee that previous examinations havent uncovered which will affect my partners future? Decisions Decisions!!

Thanks for the feedback, I have been seriously thinking about this. Maybe a nice strong legal letter might help things along.

My partner Was on a Bus in August, the bus was Hit By an Admiral Driver, Admiral has accepted Liability for this and advised my Partner at that stage to deal with the compensation claim directly with Admiral. Since this time my Partner has been off work with Knee Ligament issues which has prevented him from teaching riding lessons which was his own business. As a result of a lot of bad luck, We've now been given our eviction notice (Thurs 28th December) which is 9 days away. We've found another property to move into which Admiral confirmed they'd help with. anyway we've calculated the current loss of earnings to be over 18k in 6 months. Admiral have now done a complete U-Turn and now advised my partner to seek legal advice. We've provided them a Profit & Loss accounts for his self-employed business and now they want to see contracts (which were never signed) more medical records for a Doctor my partner has never had. What are our rights? We could be homeless as a result of an admirals careless driver, the lack of haste in the matter & assurance statements have resulted in this complete mess. Feedback is much appreciated. Regards Daniel

Hey all & thank you for reading. I used to live with a friend in a 2 bed flat, we signed a 6 month tenancy, and renewed on a month-month rolling tenancy after the 6 months. Now when we originally moved in it was me that put up the deposit & this is documented- now when I handed my notice to move out, I gave all the correct notice and followed the procedure down to the letter. The other tenant has stayed in the property, but knows that he has to give me the £1100 deposit, anyway I was a little worried about this so before i moved out asked the letting agency to confirm in writing what the other tenant needs to do (i.e pay me the £1100 deposit before he can sign a sole tenancy) this was done so I was happy to move out of the flat knowing that if the other tenant wasn't able to get me the deposit then effectively he'll be served a section 28 then once hes moved out the deposit is mine. The other tenant now cannot get the £1100 so I emailed the letting agency and informed them of this and advised that I wanted to pull my deposit from the property. The agency have now seeked legal advice and replied this- "Dear Daniel Further to our conversation yesterday, I contacted our legal team today for advice on how to proceed with this. They have replied, and they tell us that the deposit is between you the tenants , not us or the landlord and to commence the new tenancy with Daniel as the sole tenant. I am sorry about this but this is what we have been advised to do, and I am now awaiting confirmation from the landlord that she agrees with us going ahead as advised. If there is anything we can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to contact us but the legal people are quite clear that this is between you and Daniel. Regards," So effectively saying that they are not getting involved and that its down to me to sort out. They have now said there going to sign the new tenancy with my previous house mate & that I need to peruse him for the deposit. Can they do this?? even though they wrote to me advising what would happen if my ex house mate wasn't able to return my deposit. Also they put the actions in writing does this document now act as security for me as the letting agency specifically advised me that my deposit is protected? please help! Kind regards Daniel
