Police and a consultation with a solicitor. Most solicitor's are actually reasonable enough folk and will tell you if it's going to cost more in fees to them than you stand to gain from chasing the buggers for breach of contract.

Also - I've never paid more than a month's rent up front as a deposit and have rented in 3 different cities.
 
not all landlords are whiter than white either,
they pray on young people whole cant get a mortgage,

my daughter and her long time boyfriend both work full time.
dont have the deposit for a mortgage
cant get a council house, cause she AINT got kids.
and they pay £780 per month for a 2 bed flat in farringdon which is part furnished.......which means a carpet that should have been throw out years ago, a crap fridge and a cooker.
a whole in the roof that they got sick of waiting for the landlord to fix i ended up fixing it...........but when they move out in 2 weeks time i will be putting the whole back in.

Jesus, we rent out a very nicely done 3 bed terraced house for £375
 
Dare say that will be going up next time its vacant.;)

Nah, that's the going rate, and I'd rather be able to pick from the best tenants who can comfortably afford it

Nah, just pursue via small claims court. Even this is likely to be pointless

No point in even asking a solicitor unless you have one as a best friend
 
If they've nicked stuff I would take it as far as you can and try get it back off them, I hate it when people just get away with doing stuff like this.
Surely you should be ableto get the rest off the bond off them if a contract has been signed.

think it will be a phone call to the cops tonight.
not really stuff that is expensive or that i need its just the principal of things, shows what a state of a place we live when people think this can be done as the norm
i now really just want to make things as uncomfortable for them as possible

Tell us that's a typo, please...

not being funny like mate but don't buy that story

even IF they were paying £780 in farra then they have the option to move elsewhere, plenty of choice out there at the minute for a much better price than that.

I have a lovely 2 bedroom semi with front and back garden for £425 a month which they can move into now if they are interested (will have to wait a day for me to get rid of the dog turd mind)

Whereabouts is that like? Been keeping an eye on the rental places coming up around ours to see if there's anywhere similar but cheaper but the prices don't seem to have changed much over the past year or two.

Frankly that's no one's fault but there own. Ridiculous.

They could have a very nice flat in a decent area close to town for £550.
