Reply to Quick question about deposit

by jpkeates

No.

You are being asked for compensation for a loss beyond fair wear and tear which the landlord is obliged to keep to a minimum.
The loss would be the lost use of the carpet, which have lasted 5 years already, and would have had an expected lifetime of maybe 8 years.

Quick question about deposit

by KittleSkittle

Reply to New AST or periodic tenancy?

The cost would be attributed to the loss of the item (not incl. wear and tear), if you have damaged the carpet by way of burn marks or pet urine and the carpets were new at the time of you moving in, I would expect the full cost back. If in doubt you could raise the issue via the deposit schemes ar...

Reply to In view of gov likely to extend eviction ban again

by jpkeates

The government has been running scared because they've been told there will be a wave of homelessness, because there's a huge number of people due to be evicted PLUS an even huger number in arrears who will be evicted immediately it's not next to impossible.

But that doesn't seem to be...
