Checking tenant has paid bills - holding damage deposit
Discussion
Hi All
I had a tenant who part way through his tenancy did not pay his council tax but later did when I pointed out THE council were chasing me and threatening me with summons!
He has now left and I have asked he ensures all bills are paid. I have said on this assurance I will return his damage deposit.
He has said he has paid all utilities and is waiting for final council tax bill. Is it ok for me to hang on to his damage deposit until all bills are confirmed paid? (it is protected in a scheme)
