Most landlords seem to see the Deposit as a means to offset any little expenses they may incur during a tenancy.
When I move in / out of a flat, I now take pics of the place on my digital camera in case the agency suddenly sends me a bill for 'professional cleaning' or tries to deduct it from the Deposit.
The common approach amongst friends seems to be to not pay the last months rent, so as to minimise the amount they can be ripped off for.Vieze Oude ManComment

Not sure but I think heater maintenance, oven and possibly electric stuff in shower (if there is one) are responsibility of the landlord by law, probably from safety point of view.Comment

Originally posted by MailmanI was really surprised that this country doesnt have anything like a tenancy tribunal who holds deposits. Then I thought about it a bit more and realised that there is nothing in this country that surprises me

new laws comping in soon say a 3rd party have to hold the deposit, or the landlord has to have an insurance setup for the deposit, this is a pain in the backside because I now have to think about doing this for my rental property....arse!SA says;
