After moving out, I had been chasing the landlord for discussion on deposit and check-out report however it was evident he was avoiding me. After filing a claim on DPS for release of deposit, all of a sudden he wants to claim £150 off the deposit - £50 for cleaning and £100 for PAINTING!?
My partner and I had already performed a deep-clean on the property so we are definitely not paying £50 for any additional cleaning the landlord wanted done. Also, £100 for painting a ONE-bedroom flat?
Also, the landlord managed to let the property out which shows the satisfactory condition that the property was in. For a tenancy duration of 2 years, there was relatively minimal wear-and-tear on the property.
Still in dispute currently and he will not get away with this. Luckily for me I have photographic evidence. The best thing to do if you rent a property with this company is to ensure both you and the landlord attend the check-out inspection and agree on any dilapidations and get this in writing ASAP.
