I would like to know what people think is the best course of action in my situation.
I moved into a property in september 2006 with an 11 month AST. The tenancy was then renewed with a new 11 month AST from september 2007. After moving out at the end of july, we met up with the landlord to discuss the deposit and he only said he wanted to get the property cleaned professionally. We agreed to this and waited for our deposit.
Two weeks later we had still heard nothing so we tried to contact LL but got no answer so we left messages asking what was happening. Another week later LL replied just saying "on holiday will sort it out when i return".
Despite leaving more messages asking LL to contact us we heard nothing until september when LL finally answered his phone and said he had left our deposit with an agent, so we went to get it. Instead of just the cleaning as agreed he made almost £200 of deductions which had not been agreed, and still has not provided any receipts or evidence for his claims.
We have now found while trying to dispute the amount that he did not even use a TDS despite the new AST in september 2007.
What would be the best way to resolve this?
