Hi BenI wanted to respond to your comments personally as there is often a general misunderstanding regarding what involvement agents have in the return of a tenant’s deposit. In some cases, if the property is returned to the landlord in an acceptable condition once tenants vacate, the landlord concerned will confirm to the agent in writing that no financial deductions from the deposit are required and upon receipt the agent processes the return of the deposit to the tenants in full. In other cases, properties are not returned in an acceptable condition and as a result the agent obtains quotations from relevant contractors to put things right. Once received these quotations are sent to the landlord for consideration and a decision made as to what the tenants should contribute towards the required repairs out of their deposit. Sometimes tenants accept what is being proposed by the landlord and the relevant deductions are taken from their deposit with the remaining balance sent back to them by the agent. However, where landlords and tenants disagree in terms of what works are required and/or the associated financial deductions being proposed, then negotiations continue in the hope of an amicable compromise being reached at some point, and during such negotiations agents are not allowed by law to return any of the tenant’s deposit. Negotiations can sometimes drag on for some time which of course delays monies being returned to the tenants. Where negotiations ‘hit a brick wall’ with neither landlord nor tenant being prepared to move any further from their position, the issue is then referred to an independent Adjudicator employed by the Company where the deposit is registered. They will then ultimately decide what, if any, monies should be retained by the landlord. The agent, landlord or tenants have no direct influence on this decision other than to furnish the Adjudicator with as much relevant information as possible so they can reach a fair and balanced decision based on the facts submitted. Once everything has been reviewed by the Adjudicator, they will then inform all parties of their final decision and instruct the agent concerned the amount to pass over to the landlord and what, if any, monies from their original deposit should be returned to the tenants. Unfortunately, agents are often blamed unfairly for not returning deposits back to the tenants or that the time taken to do so takes far too long. It is reasonable for people to reach such conclusions without having a detailed knowledge of the process and related legal restrictions that an agent must work within. Hopefully, my explanation above helps provide a clearer explanation of our position in this matter and will also assist other tenants who read this response in having a greater understanding of how tenants’ deposits are retained and processed at the end of a tenancy especially where a dispute arises. In your case as part of your original application process with us, you would have been provided with ‘Prescribed Information’ which would explain how we hold your deposit, and the related process thereafter should a dispute arise upon expiry of your tenancy. So, it is certainly not the case that you were unaware of the possible implications linked to an ongoing dispute over your deposit prior to moving in.
