The house was fine when we viewed it and the tenants had nothing but good things to say about it even when the landlord was out of earshot, in retrospect however they could have been just covering themselves as the letting agents have told us that our deposit will be witheld if they can't rent the property as a result of us telling people the problems we have had.

The lettting agents shouldn't have your deposit, it should be held by an independant body (can't remember the name) who deal with any dispute between landlord and tenant.

They are talking b*llshit young man.

Go and see the CAB, the Council and the Uni'.

Take the advice and put everything in writing.

I guess you are on shorthold assured tenancy agreement? When is it up for renewal? when can you give notice? Be sure not to wreck the place and keep clean. clearly fair wear and tear is acceptable but is subjective esp when it comes to getting the deposit back.

Keep photos is the key.

seek legal advice or go to the citizens advice bureau.

this place penalty charges say

It is our aim is to make you aware of your rights as a consumer, enabling you to fight back, against large corporations/local authorities that abuse their position. On the website's forum you will find a large selection of different categories that we offer advice on. Here is a very short example of some of those: Credit Agreements, Debt Collection Agencies, Holiday Companies, Bailiffs, Landlords & Tenants, Payment Protection Insurance, Traffic Offences, Utility Suppliers, Harassment, and of course both Bank Charges and Credit Card charges.

i know how this happens, i worked for a letting agency as maintenance when i was in UK...we were not slumlords though...give it a whirl you will be amazed.

hope that helps
