Not a huge issue BUT what can the landlord withhold deposit for?
Been in this rental 6 months and haven't had a single electricity or gas bill (all supposedly arranged by the agent!). We are about to leave and DH rang a power supply company today who confirmed that the bills are being sent to and being paid by the owners ( I guessed which company had the account!).
Naturally we have every intention of paying our bills BUT I am interested in knowing whether the owner can legitimitely deduct the money from our deposit: WILL he have to prove exact amounts before making the deduction IF indeed he is 'allowed' to use our deposit in this way?
