Help! Landrold keep deposit money for 2 years


Recommended Posts

Hi Izabella,

We have the same situation. Deposit should be protected in 2 weeks since you moved in.


First step is to negotiate (disagree) via deposit protecting site, next step court.

You need the confirmation from where the deposit was protected with the dates.

You can call there or send an requesting email giving your name, tenancy address and deposit ID.

Is it in a deposit protection scheme now? If so contact them now and let the know the whole story, if no damage then you are entitled to the money within 10 days of leaving, and possibly the Landlord is in trouble if the money wasn't in the scheme earlier.

Need to contact the scheme the money is held with first, they should be able to sort it out pretty quickly.


If for whatever reason they don't comply (and the fact that he didn't deposit the money for 26 months means he's liable for something like 1.5 times the deposit in compensation is likely to make him cave in immediately), then the small claims.

Way Deduction from deposit ? i m not sure , still waiting for his respond ( negotiation with dps) but he will try for lost of earnings

Long story short : renew contract for another year and after couple of months he decide to put on a market for sell , viewings nearly every day sometimes 3xday for about 2 months (with 2 babies and a preschooler it was very inconvenient ) Any way after incident when agent did not respect my directions not to enter the room where baby was sleeping I stop the viewing (not to mentions that hi didn't want to leave property , treating me with some crap ), i stop hoping they will set some rules etc. but didn't come to me for negotiations , he was still doing his privet viewings ...

He don't know what his doing ,now property is up for rent?!!!!

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
