After a 5 month wait since moving out I have been told my former landlord who not only received over 20k in rent over 1.5 years from me, has now been granted another £350 from my deposit. To say I am fuming is an understatement!
Anyway to cut a long story short, the landlord gave a number of complete bullshit pathetic reasons why they thought they were entitled to a chunk of my deposit. I am convinced its out of pure greed and the property was not left in any worse state than when I moved in aside from general wear and tear.
Been through the DPS dispute service and it seems I am bound by their judgement which feels like it has gone massively in the landlords favour. Any experts around know if there is anything I can do?
Lesson to renters or future renters out there, be careful what you sign and look out for these bastards adding clauses in to catch you out. I paid £200 for end of tenancy clean which apparently wasn't good enough so have had to pay again. That's not the only charge.
On a more light hearted note, any fun ideas how to get back at the former landlord? Nothing illegal or that could get me into trouble of course. I am tempted to slip a note through the door to the new tenants telling them all about their landlord to try to prevent this happening to them.
