Repayment of rent in advance

[schmoo76]

Hi,

My tenancy ended on May 29th, I have received confirmation on return of my deposit but not had any confirmation of my rent in advance. I have contacted the estate agent who just keeps fobbing me off, saying she will get back to me but doesn't. Is there any procedure/time frame to get any outstanding amount returned?

Might be worth talking to the Housing Ombudsman Service if they keep fobbing you off, https://www.housing-ombudsman.org.uk/

Or if the agent is a member of a professional body, speak to them.

It should be a simple debt action.

Yes, but why go to the cost of court proceedings when one might be able to resolve it for free via another avenue?

If the free route doesn't work then court is the route.
