This case is a matter of the Guildford small claim court as you have failed to returned monies. You are lawfully not allowed to hold back monies. Reference fees of £195 should not be passed to new tenants as per the legislation hence the county courts are dealing with case. Shelter have stated you are not allowed to keep holding payments regardless what excuse you have used Matthew John Cavender. Will see you in courts as you and your company will not be allowed to get away with this anymore. I ...

Hi Lorna, Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately my boyfriend just got in the same shoes you had. This morning he got an email from Cavender saying that the landlord declared the deduction of a ridiculous amount of 1700 pounds from his security deposit due to carpet replacement etc. It would be very kind of you to share your experience how you "won the dispute" eventually. I'm happy for you to be over this issue. Looking forwards to hearing your story Kind Regards, ...

Hi Melissa I am sorry that you feel let down by your experience. Naturally we can only show you properties that we have on the market and whilst they may have been above your budget, I am pleased that we did find you the right one in the end which you moved in to. When you were leaving this property, we were not able to help with your search as we did not have any properties that suited your requirements/ budget. When we are booking viewings with people occupying the property, we always aim t ...
