Hello all,
This situation has been stressing me out recently, more the fact that my housemates are very dirty.
I live in a shared house and rent a room. There are 5 tenants altogether.
When I moved in this room in December 2012 I paid the deposit to the letting agent on the day I moved in by bank transfer. In January 2013 I noticed I haven't received any information about my deposit being protected so I spoke to the letting agent and he said he changed his company name and had to move it out but will be protected soon (?!). A week after the landlord came into the house with a new agent as he has disputes with the old one - apparently the old letting agent hasn't paid the landlord any money.
To date my deposit is still not protected and I need to move out soon. I've spoken with the new letting agent and he said the landlord is still trying to recover the deposit. I'm scared that the landlord will swallow my hard earned money .
What are my options?
