I will use bullet points to make is simple,
1) My girlfriend left her flat a week ago after giving one months notice in writing to the landlord, as
per the contract. He acknowledged her leaving by email.
2) It was left fully cleaned with digital pics showing it was clean and nothing was left and no damage.
3) He said he would come and inspect the property, but a couple of days before phoned and said he
wouldn't be coming and said to drop the keys off at the letting agency, they are just finders and do
not manage the property, and he would pay the deposit when he confirms the keys have been
returned. He was given the bank account details necessary for the transfer
4) He is supposed to pay by bank transfer but it has been a week since the keys were given in.
5) He has a history of not paying debts on the property like the management fees.
6) We emailed him today asking what's going on (he usually replies within that day he hasn't yet)
If he doesn't reply by tomorrow afternoon she will call him, we will also go and see the letting
agent.
==========================================================
Does the letting agency have any responsibility towards us. We paid the deposit to them and signed
the contract in their office (no landlord present) and they said they would send it to him to be signed
and then would send us a copy. They never did even though we chased it up several times.
Eventually they gave us a copy which they signed. They are now in the process of finding more
tenants but like I said before they do not manage it. what should I say to them and what can I get
them to do both legally and morally.

My gf will be leaving in two weeks back to her own country which makes things much more difficult
regarding small claims court. Does anyone know if I can do it on her behalf? How much money
should we ask for? If we have to go to the small claims I want to punish him otherwise he will think
he can just try it on with others.
Note this contract was done in 2006 so I dont think the new rules apply. If some of the new rules
do which ones are they?
So given I have a limited amount of time, how do I go about getting the money back and how much
time should be given at each stage?
Feel free to ask any relevant questions, any help is greatly appreciated.
