I seem to be having difficulty in getting my deposit back from the agent who rented a flat to me. i have now been waiting over a month for the deposit to be returned. The landlady who owned the flat just got a very basic infantry done on the flat, the firm who did the infantry has inspected the flat and has given the report to the agent whith nothing on the report that i had to pay for. Meanwhile the landlady who owns the flat is saying there are things in the flat that have to be paid for eg, wear and tear etc. The letting agent wont give me my deposit back untill the landlady tells them how much i owe and finally releasesthe money to me. It has now been well over a month and still i seem to be no further in getting what money i am owed.
In my eyes, the infantry has been done and passed with no damage or wear and tear. I feel it is wrong that the land lady can claim any money from me and also surely its not right that the agent can keep this money from me.
If anyone has any advise i would be most grateful
Thanks :-)

If you are dealing with the letting agents who I assume took your deposit and they have cleared the property then the landlord can't have a second swipe at it. Fair wear and tear cannot be charge for anyway.
Threaten the agent with court action unless they return your money within a specific time, e.g 7 days.
