In out T & C we apparently signed March 09 to say we would accept that the check out charge + VAT would be taken fromt he deposit. Bearing in mind we were under no illusion that the leaving day would ever come, we were so pleased to get the property it was all signed.
I have since asked for another copoy of it and there it is £90 + VAT for check out done by Castles an external inventory company.
On our T & C it also states that these charges can change, it would have been a positive jesture for the LA to inform us of this.
Theres no way either at the beginning or end of the rental period that we could disagree with the charges, if we did we couldn't rent, a bit stupid really.
I have since told our previous LA that I thought this was quite underhanded, I was told it was nothing to do with them they just passed the invoice on.
So if our LA says it charges £90 + VAT and the check out was £300 we woulod just have to pay that, nothing said.
My point is that they invoiced us for £111.63, no break down of how m uch the VAT is and no indication it wasn't £90 - although clearly its not.
Anyone think they should have told us in advance or is it not worth bothering about - trouble is it is when it takes the full amount to just over 3K for moving costs etc, that was just the pound that tipped me over the edge!!
