I have kept a deposit in a protection scheme during the time a tenant has rented my property. At the end of the contract, the tenant owes me a lot more than is in this deposit. Where do I stand legally in making up the difference from her?

This should help with seeing if you can retain the deposit...

How much extra is it about the deposit sum? Is it an amount worth pursuing in court?

Thanks- that's a really good website but I think my problem may be more specific. Have also got in touch with the deposit scheme to ask their advice so fingers crossed it'll be sorted. It's annoying cos it's a substantial amount of my finances considering i'm on quite a low income at the moment, but probably not enough to warrant a court procedure. Hey ho, we all live and learn don't we?! Grrr
