My daughter and friends have been renting a place on the shore and are running into problems with the PM.
Its a pretty common story of a greedy owner who is trying to hold bond for things that were existing problems when they moved in 6 months ago (mainly a very tired carpet)
Her flatmates have photos from before showing this --Heres the hard part--They are all students who are going to have a hard time waiting for any remaining bond that may be coming back.
I still need to find out all the details but was wondering if they can dispute the bond held while getting the remaining bond back.
I seem to remember talking to the tenancy advice and finding out (to my horror at the time -as a landlord)that after 10 years the carpet is fully depreciated and cant be claimed for.
If this is the case and they hold bond anyway is there any recourse other than going to the tribunal to try to get the bond being held--The PM would obviously be breaking tenancy laws on that one.
Bit of guidance on that one would be well appreciated as most of my experience has been as a landlord and not with exploiting PMs
Cheers
