First Last And Deposit

[roadman]

if you pay your first last and deposit when you start rent then when it comes to the last month of rent that you pay nornally when you give in your notice can they use the last month as extra deposit

[wolf63]

I can't answer your question but you may want to reword it as it isn't completely clear what you are asking.

[calmck]

The deposit is either to hold the property or to cover any damages you might incur. First and last should be for the first and last month of the rental

[bednobs]

what went into the deposit scheme?

[Meaghan27]

If you mean, can you ask the landlord to use the deposit amount ( usually on months rent) instead of paying the last month's rent, then the answer is no because the landlord does not have access to those funds as they are in a deposit scheme. The landlord can only access the deposit or part of it if they successfully claim damages to the rental home.

I can't answer your question
I can
he cant use a deposit as rent

he has paid it into a scheme and it has to be returned to you ( I think)

Meaghan succinct answer is correct
