Hello sir, would it be allright if we kept the last months rent and you keep the deposit?PaulStat said:How would you put that to the LL though?
Was there a reason you did not get the deposit back?fatiain said:I wish I had witheld my last months rent in all the properties I've rented as I've only had one deposit back.

1st one, we all got cheques but he stopped then as there was apparently loads of damage (that he knew about anyway and wouldn't repair ) I gave up on that one.Dutch Guy said:Was there a reason you did not get the deposit back?
What did the owner say when you asked him about the deposit?

2nd one pulled out an inventory dated 2 years before we moved in and there were about a billion things we'd never even seen in the flat and tried to get us to pay a £100 repair bill for the £30 from Argos video player (that ate my mates squash video), £200 quid to rehang a door, £150 carpet cleaning (despite us having cleaned the carpets). I found the correspondance we had with him the other day, with annotations from me and my old flatmate. Hilarious. Drunken scrawlings about going down to Bath to sort him out.
3rd one, I had to move out at short notice to be with a pregnant mrs fatiain. Never saw that deposit either.
