So, I recently moved as many people have to due to a Section 21(no fault eviction) prior to the outlawing of it. During the process of going through the paperwork I noticed that the original deposit which was paid way back over 10 years ago was different to the one that was given to us. We renewed the contract every 2 years and to be blunt, I did not recheck the deposit amounts as clearly the only thing that went up was the rent. Having looked back in my notes, the change happened at a point when they moved records from one office to another so for the first 8 years it was the correct amount. The issue I wanted to ask is whether I have any legal standing to complain since I signed three contracts with the wrong amount on them? The issue at hand is literally £75 difference.
I am currently awaiting the deposit but have an email good to go when the issue of deductions is resolved.
Question 2: is there a legal timescale for a landlord to return said deposit as it is now over the 10 working days since official kick out date?
