Deposits are sent out within seven working days with an accompanying statement of receiving all the stamped and receipted final bills such as gas, electric etc in accordance with the Tenancy Agreement. THis is done to avoid black marks against the property which can cause incoming tenants to have to pay large deposits to British Gas, Southern Electric etc. Hardly fair play to new occupants. By law all deposits have to be registered with one of three government shemes. If a tenant feels unhappy about deductions from his/her deposit or the lack of its return they can take their complaint to the scheme to mediate and reach a solution. This person could have done that if he had been unfairly treated but clearly did not because he/she/they failed to comply with the terms of the Agreement by vacating and leaving outstanding bills behind and left the incomimg tenant unfairly with the possibility of a large deposit as above or a black mark/poor credit against the landlord's property. They therefore have no real grievance at all but like many in the wrong have to hit out where and when they can to justify their lack of right and wrong. Attack does not make their behaviour right or acceptable. Neither do comments made under a false name. A cowardly attack with no substance
