I posted here before and it was very helpful but I decided to have patience and wait for her because I was too busy to chase her around.
The deposit is not protected and she decided to tell me after 2 months of vacating the property, that she would take half of my deposit to do repairs and a professional cleaning. I had some pictures and I sent her an email explaining why I disagreed, but she would take around 10 days to reply so eventually I just gave up and accepted the remaining amount and sent her my bank details so she could do the transfer.
Well, last Monday she finally told me that the transfer was made but I haven't received any payment from her. I wrote today asking if she could confirm she did it because the money should've cleared by now. Again, no answer.
I don't know what else to do, at this point I'm so stressed about this issue, that I'd prefer to forget about the money, but it's very frustrating to let her win after 3 and a half months of claiming for it.
I rented the property for a year, I have 2 assured shorthold tenancy agreement (I renovated after 6 months) and only one has an address and it's the letting agency address. I contacted them but they informed me it's not their responsibility anymore as they were only hired to find a tenant and not to administrate the property.
I guess the only way would be taking her to court, but what if she make the transfer as soon as I tell her this is my intention? Where should I send the notification letter? Can she claim even more money from the deposit if I make her angry? The inventory was very rudimentary and that's how she managed to claim money in the first place, but I learned my lesson now.
I would really appreciate any advice on how to proceed.
Thanks
