  • court-no rent deposit protection- my offer has been refused

    Non protection of rent deposit

    5 agreements
    1st one is time barred.
    The deposit was returned.
    Claimant has given me an offer of 4 months plus costs to accept.
    I have made an offer of 3 months plus costs because I believe this is one tenancy he has said no.
    One man landlord - no other claims before

    The law is not clear on how the judge will say. Other legal advice has said - should only offer 1.5 months to others should accept 4 months.

    1. Should I accept the 4 months ( + he got his deposit back) - time runs out in 2 days.

    Or stick it out and be prepared to go to court. I made my offer today and was refused.

    2. Has anyone an idea of what the extra cost would be from now to going to courts- i am just waiting a hearing date.

    Its like bloody poker as far as I can see.

    Yes I know what the law says but have been told probably judge would award between 1-3 months but not definite.
    How can we have law that basically depends on what the judge migh think that day.

    This is a continuation of the story begun here: https://legalbeagles.info/forums/for...etter-of-claim

    Have you tried landlords' forums such as landlordzone? They are more likely to have experience of this type of case.
