Had a 12 months AST started in February 09.
Deposit Paid of £1053.66 - Not protected by any of the 3 DPS schemes they have confirmed
Flat inspection on 27th Oct 09. The night before me and my partner had a big arguement and she trashed the place with my stuff in it and also taking some of my her stuff, TV and the likes.
I am round my folks on inspection day and text LL to say I am not going to be in and to postpone.
Come back home two days later and the locks are changed. Due to the mess as my partner left it in she says I abandoned the property when I didn't. Now have nowhere to live and have had to go back to folks.
I owed one month rent at this point too due to change of jobs and was awaiting a pay off from old position.
Since left I asked for LL to dispose of items left behind that they said they still had and to leave with concierge for collection, personal items and also my mail. They agreed, been 3 times now and they are not there. They say it is 3 months since I left the property and therefore lost rights to them and been disposed of, although we only agreed 4 weeks ago to leave them for collection as I no longer live in London no more.
She is still stating I abandoned property in her email correspondance which I have not admitted too. She has kept my deposit too.
She has listed different items that need replacing according to her. There was a inventory on entering but no exit one as she changed the locks. She sent me a bill for 2k with all items costing exactly rounded up to the £. She has even charged for things I know have not been replaced like the communal letterbox she said I broke, I saw it last week and it was still the same although she is trying to charge me £20 for it stating it has been repaired in the email?
I said she has illegally evicted me and has not protected my deposit and she has now asked me if we can draw a line under it as long as I admit to abandoning the property.
I think that covers it all, I am a avid reader of these forums and well versed I think in the law but wanted responses based on my circs from others to be sure of whats what
Thanks for your help
