Hi there,
Looking for some advice. I previously rented an artist studio in London (a signed contract was in place) which I served notice and vacated in July 2023 due to relocation back to Scotland due to a recent life changing health diagnosis. I had the studio repainted before I left and the studio was in much better condition than when I moved in as the previous tenant hadn't bothered. There was someone lined up to take over the studio after I left. The manager asked for my bank details in order to return the deposit the day after I left which I provided.
We are now almost 4 months later and my deposit has still not been returned. It may not seem a massive amount, but to a small business owner like myself it is a lot of money. I have chased 4 times via email and left voicemails but these have all gone unanswered.
My main question is do I have any other routes that I can try to get my money back?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
