Thank you for your feedback.
We do encourage anyone who is dissatisfied with the procedure to dispute it via the relevant channels. This information is highlighted to all tenants prior to starting the tenancy and throughout the checking out and bond reimbursement process.
Every deposit taken, whether for a student or professional let, is registered with an approved scheme in accordance with current legislation. These schemes are in place to prevent agents or landlords from retaining any kind of deposit unfairly. No deposit is ever retained by us or the landlord unless it is proved that sufficient damage has been caused by the tenant to fully justify any deductions.
We would respectfully draw your attention to the following - “the deposit is first and foremost the tenant’s money; this remains the case until the landlord can justify their claim to it†– which is an extract from our tenancy deposit membership guidelines herewith:- http://www.depositprotection.com/documents/a-guide-to-tenancy-deposits-disputes-and-damages.pdf
We will happily discuss or re-issue you with your deposit registration number to enable you to dispute the deposit refunding process if you approach us directly. You can email [email protected] or call us 0191 209 2222.
Regards,
Mansons Property Consultants
