I would be grateful for any advice or experience please?
Long story short: landlord would only renew my tenancy if I agreed not to pursue him for not complying with scheme. He worded it differently, but that's what he meant. I disagreed. Landlord issued s21, which I challenged. He then returned my deposit and re-issued s21. I've since moved out to more expensive flat that I can barely afford.
Letter from his solicitor (inc with returned chq deposit) makes clear that any attempt to claim re not complying with deposit scheme will be heavily challenged and I'll have to pay LLs considerable legal costs. I've been thinking about this for a while now and find myself swaying btw letting it go vs not wanting to be scared off by this dodgy landlord.
Any advice really appreciated. Btw I'm not landlord bashing, my current one is lovely, but the previous one didn't seem to be experienced or to know what the rules are.
