"My deposit was not protected by landlord!"

My deposit was not protected!
I needed help to fight for my rights as I had my previous landlord trying to keep my deposit unfairly. My landlord came twice for inspection the property and hadn't find any problem. They even told us that they never had better tenants than us we always paid in time and left the property clean and undamaged. I also took pictures and videos about the state of the property for evidence as I couldn't trust any landlord. Before we moved out we also made sure to clear any bills that we had. Few days after we moved out to our first home that we bought I received an email from tham claiming that we left the property in such state they have to cut our deposit with a ridiculously big amount. I was shocked as they came for expectation twice and had not found any damage. Also they claimed that I left the property and did not give enough notice for them. Which is not true. I told them I'm happy to pay the whole money off rent I am aware that is required by law. But they send me an email telling me no need to pay it just pay the additional days that we stay there instead of paying £50 we had to pay £60. They told me they have tenants coming right away who is the downstairs neighbour's friend. So they don't mind as they going to have new tenants. I also had to show new tenants around the property so I even saw them. But they claimed that I left the property in horrible condition showing photo evidence how I left the property but those photos didn't even watched the property that I rented from them. They claimed that they needed a professional cleaning team and had to pay £2500 for the damaged property that I left. Wish was all a lie! So I contacted with SBW LAW and sent all my videos, pictures, text, and email massages with my landlord. Videos showing how clean and tidy I left the property! Emails confirming that I didn't leave property without notice and the agreement that my landlord told me to pay extra every day if we need to stay more. Also I contacted with their agent who confirmed me that new tenants had moved to the property right away! So the claim that they lost a lot of money is untrue. Initially I only wanted our deposit back as that's just what is fair after not doing any damage on the property but soon SBW LAW called me and emailed me that my landlord had not protected m deposit within the 30 days that was required by law and protected my deposit after about 5 months. So I was able to claim a compensation. SBW LAW was very professional all the way through they informed me and explained to me everything. I am so grateful for them helping me. Very professional team always emailed me back right away. Highly recommend SBW LAW!

"SBW Law were quick to send a Surveyor…"

SBW Law were quick to send a Surveyor to London to take photos and write a report.

The staff were friendly.

The case took over 5 years to be resolved, mostly due to the Pandemic and lack of response from my Local Council whenever SBW Law contacted them about any of the outstanding issues involved in the case.
It was extremely frustrating, but Local Councils are habitually remiss with communications and admission of liability, as we all know.

Finally we won in Court, and I received the amount I had been expecting, from the start, and repairs are underway.
