The appointments were for electricians etc and the letters where we are corresponding with each other.

Also, I have never been given a copy of the AST. I have requested one from my LL

Hi, My deposit is in a scheme and I have notified them of the dispute. My landlord has created an inventory from 9 days before my tenancy that isn't signed by either of us. In addition it is incorrect. The admin charges my landlord has charged me are for letters, phone calls, obtaining quotes and making appointments. Are these legal?

I have recently ended my tenancy and vacated the property. My landlord has now text'd me to state that she will be keeping the £595 deposit due to damage and redecoration. During my tenancy I did redecorate without my landlords direct permission. However, my questions are as follows: 1. All thought no initial permission was sought, my landlord had seen the property in its decorated condition a few times. I did not receive any letter asking for this to be returned to original condition both at the time or at the delivery of my notice to quit. Could this be construed at consent/permission by my landlord to redecorate? 2. There was no inventory at the commencement of my tenancy and my landlord has falsified documents. Without an inventory, does my landlord has grounds to deduct damages? 3. If you, as a tenant, were unaware of any problems of damage e.g. Loose tiles - can this be classified as a genuine claim for damages? 4. If the carpets were threadbare and the problem reported to the landlord- does she have a legal obligation to replace these especially when this problem caused continuous accidents? 5. Can my landlord charge me admin fees for obtaining quotes, sending letters and making phone calls to me? If so, how can I find out of these are reasonable. 6. What would be considered reasonable time scales offered by my landlord. She is making appointments within 48hours of the letters being posted and is not allowing time for them to be received by myself. Any help is greatly appreciated - thank you .
