No PI for original or renewal AST.

[KTC]

The deposit was how much?

I don't know how to claim for it though, so here are my questions:

Would they be fined for both of the tenancies or just once?

There's no binding authority on the matter, but it is generally believed that liability is per tenancy, though of course the defense will try to argue otherwise.

How do I know which amount to pay for costs if I don't know how much of a penalty the courts might award?

£308 "non-money claims" in the county court.

It's not a moneyclaim, don't let an admin staff at the court tell you otherwise if they try.

Does it have to be through the county court? I can't just use MCOL, can I?

MCOL is county court.... But if what you're asking is whether you can do it via a moneyclaim, the proper answer is no. People try, some get away with it, others don't. Your money (the issue fee), up to you.

Sorry - the whole courts thing confuses me.

Then instruct a solicitor to make the claim for you instead of trying to DIY it yourself.

We didn't receive PI for our last property and are looking into taking the LL to court for it.
we didn't receive any for the original AST or the renewal.

The deposit was £2630 and we are still waiting for DPS to finish adjudicating on it, but expect to get it back as the LL didn't do their evidence properly or point to any specific problems.
