hi. We rented a property for my son. The lease was dated 26th August 2006 for a period of 6 months.

A deposit was paid £900.

My son left the property July 26th 2008 in the same condition as he bean, with a few minor tear and wear however landlord has kept £600 of the depoit.

 

1. The deposit was was paid at the inception of the lease

2. He stayed on in the house for a further 17 months after the end date..with permission on a monthly basis from the landlord / agent

3. No further lease was produced or signed for the continuation period.

 

Where do we stand. Does the deposit sit under the TDS?

 

I know someone on ehre will help!

No TDS I'm afraid.

 

Was any inventory provided and signed?

No deductions then, as they have no baseline to compare the condition to.

 

Send a LBA, giving 14 days, then small claims.

 

I could explain where the name comes from....but this is a family forum :D

What do you think the chances of winning in court are? I am not overly concerned about costs as it will sit under the small claims umbrella and I cannot see any reason for it being challenged for that decision, however even the fee's for court would be a loss for my son.

I would give you an 80-90% chance of winning on the basis of what you have said.
