Hello, Last Tuesday I moved out of my flat, my tenancy ended on Thursday. I have paid a deposit of £250. When I first moved in on Saturday 24th September the heavy glass shower door was not attached to the shower, so in order to wash it had to be lifted across. This resulted in someone dropping the door and cracking the floor of the shower (I don't know who did this- could have been anyone). This happened on the Thursday after I moved in. I remember one of my housemates telling me that she believed the land lady was going to charge us all for it but this was never said to me so I thought they must be mistaken. The shower wasn't fixed for about 3 weeks and we also didn't have a cooker since I moved in for about a month. After moving out, I called to ask about my deposit. She told me she hadn't checked the flat but was charging me £120 for damages to the shower. I said I didn't think this was fair as she should have fixed the shower door and she told me that my housemates said it was my boyfriend who had broken it and she was doing me a favour by not fining me £600. Since speaking to her I have found out that my deposit isn't under a protection scheme but now that I have moved out I don't know if this is relevant. I checked my tenancy agreement and it's one from 2007- the year I believed the law was introduced. I would really appreciate if somebody could tell me where I stand legally and what I can claim. I heard that if she hasn't entered my deposit into a scheme she has to pay me my deposit back but now I've moved out this might not be the case. The thing is she hasn't checked the flat yet and as I took no photos she could charge me for anything. I left my room in pristine condition- when my mum came up to help clear it we discovered the hoover had broken and the land lady wouldn't lend us one from her shop (which was downstairs) so we had to buy a new one. I'm fine with her taking up to fifty pounds for anything damaged in the communal area/ cleaning, but I don't think it's fair that she charges me or any of my housemates for the shower. I'm also concerned that she mentioned my boyfriend breaking the shower. He wasn't actually back at university when it happened but he has stayed over before- although nothing in my contract says that I'm not allowed to have guests stay over. I would really appreciate any advice you could give me!
