At the end of my lease, Susan attempted to force me to pay an additional fee instead of returning, to me, the amount of my deposit that I was due.
She attempted this by sending me a long, demeaning email, including a theatrical description of her “disappointment” and the excessive amount that I was being requested to pay for the flat being supposedly such an abominable mess.
I suspect she may have done this because I gave my notice after having only lived in the property for six months. I believe she saw me as vulnerable and felt able to put on this whole performance because I am a woman who lived alone.
The tone with which I was addressed was designed to bully and shame me into believing made up nonsense, and giving Allied Homes more money - money to which Allied Homes was never entitled.
I eventually received 10 percent of the deposit back.
My advice to anyone renting from allied homes is beware of this toxic, ruthless behaviour. Susan has no concern for your wellbeing after you stop renting.
Michelle was sound.

The deposit protection company held the deposit and had she had any grounds to dispute this she could have.We were disappointed after only 6 months at how it was left and there was no bullying implied in the emails sent to her and it is drawn to the tenants attention when they give notice that they should leave the property as it was presented to them so they know what is expected of them fair wear and tear notwithstanding.It is often the case that the tenant shoots the messenger in these situations despite being happy during their tenancy with the agency.
