Hello, I really don’t want to charge my student renters during this time as their university is closed for the next term and they are not occupying the property for the rest of the contract.

The dodgy...

We've had issues getting our deposits back from our former landlord due to his estate agent forgetting to do any check out inspections and then fabricating a list of damages 3 weeks later which we have since proven to be false.

TL;DR
Landlord is currently asking for £900 to put the flat back into its original state, and we feel this is totally unjustified. We have sent a few emails back and forth but...

I live in a 12 bed roomed student house. We started to have problems at around October with the pipework.
