I found out yesterday.
We are moving out on the 16th, gave notice 2 weeks ago. The rent is due tomorrow and LL has asked for the usual full amount even though we will be leaving after a week me have given notice until the 20th.
Mentioned rent deposit scheme and it's been "held by landlord" for the 4 years I've been here.
We only got smoke alarms last year and we have never had an ectruc check even though I've had letters here stating there has been one (LL is in electrical business somehow)
He has attempted repair of boiler himself on many occasions and we have paid and had to do ourselves all minor repairs including a new element in the oven (waiting for LL to do it would mean not using oven for a couple of weeks).
Do I have to pay the entire months rent or do I pay up to when I gave notice, so up to the 20th June?
I'm worried he will keep deposit too as it's not protected. We have kept the house in good condition but walls are a bit grubby as we could only afford cheap paint every year. A few slats are broken on blinds as a cat came through the window and jumped back literally straight through the blind and snapped the slats after seeing my parents' dog was here. I'm assuming he will say he needs to keep all of the deposit to repair them.
He already has someone lined up as a new tenant as he said he's showing them around when they come to get the keys and do final inspection.
Any advice before tomorrow please!
