odecar Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Previously posted on a friend who has a LL scumbag from hell in a HMO. After reporting it to council they wrote and LL has replied that he only has 4 tenants in property and council are closing investigation. Friend is seeking return of deposit in small claims court on 17th Sept. Any advice welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Dewsberry Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 My favorite answer works both ways ! Personally i wouldn't have gone small claims route !!(but then you knew that already !!) T could have issued written demand for return of dep or use of DC to LL But as it is in court soon ..prob best left to court to decide ...

GPEL Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 In short, claimand and defendant give their point of view to the circuit judge who then decides the outcome. Usually, at least one of the parties doesn't turn up, which, makes it more likely the other will win. However, getting a judgement and receiving payment are 2 different things.
