I wasn't sure where to put this. Just hoping for some advice or guidance really please. We moved out of our rented property nearly 3 months ago and we still haven't had any of our £1600 deposit back. We lived there two years, gave plenty of notice and moved due to relocation. We kept the house and garden as clean as we could but when we moved in it wasn't in the best state (weeds in garden, worn skirting boards, stains on carpets). The bathroom was re grouted twice by the landlords son but whenever I cleaned any mould marks off the grout would come off. We kept garden tidy but weeds kept coming back. We basically left the house in the state we found it (possibly cleaner). Basically we received our end of tenancy report a couple of weeks ago which confirms wear and tear and small issues ie light bulbs not replaced. When we have chased the landlord to let us know what the next step is in regards to our deposit we get the landlord telling us to call his son; his son says my father has been on holiday or evicting some tenants from another property. My dp called the landlord this evening and he said he has discovered Japanese knotweed in the garden. DP said the garden was a mess when we moved in and relatively tidy when we moved out; we have pictures to show this. He said he would talk to his son then hung up! The deposit is in a protection scheme at least. What can we do?
