we had trouble with our previous landlord but we took pictures with dates on the day we moved in, and they tried it on last month when we wanted our deposit back, firstly they said we had relpaced the sitting room carpet which we had but the one that was in had big burn holes in and we showed them the pictures of when we moved in and how we left it, then they said the curtains we different so again we showed them the pictures of the mould on the old ones, and then they tried to say we we had to pay for wear and tear on the carpets, i went to cab and they put me in touch with shelter after speaking to them and showing them the pictures we had our deposit back within 3 days this was a big company that we rented off and were told that they always tried it on with people, but we did get the full £1200 back, i would get in touch with shelter it carnt do any harm to try
