Best way to sue the LL

[beans on toast]

have decided that I am sueing my LL and the choice I have are

 

MCOL for £795 (deposit) which he put in a scheme 10 months after i gave it to him (gave in jan 13, he paid it in dec 13)

 

MCOL for £795 (deposit) + damage to my property from the damp in the house, plus stress and harressment as he refuses to fix any thing in the house

 

N1 claim form for everything I am not happy with and let judge decided

 

which do you think would be best way

 

am not bothered about him evicting me

 

cheers

I suggest you know what you are doing firsy t

[beans on toast]

then give me advice, what should I know what I am doing first

You have outlined 3 options, but which one do you favour?

 

 

Not even sure if MCOL can be used for deposit dispute and I doubt you can claim for stress & harassment unless you have suffered a related financial loss. Best route may be a paper-based SCC claim for return of full deposit and hope you get a sympathetic Judge to consider the separate matter of damage to your contents due to alleged damp.

the damp isn't alleged, I have a report from EH over the state of the house, due to his refusal to fix any thing in the house

 

got told I can use MCOL to claim back my deposit only, as it is a set amount, but most of the advice you receive is design for LL

Hi beans

 

You state the LL put the deposit in the deposit scheme some 10months after you paid LL the deposit.

 

Have you claimed the deposit back from the deposit scheme holding it?

[beans on toast]

no, they wont let me with out a court order to do it, as it is still with in the first 30 days of it being put in, plus my LL wont agree to it or give me a good ref to move house, as I had to get EH to force him to fix a leaking chimney which has ruined one half of a house wall, as the chimney is leaking, which has caused damp in 2 bedroom walls and a bathroom down stairs, plus other things in the house, he has neglected over the years
