Yes. Is she full time there or a contractor? You can serve the papers on her at Soc Gen - that's always fun...

Oh, and why would she be working on a Bank Hol w/e? Just wait until Tuesday and call the switchboard? If you know her department then go to their website and try and find a department head and speak to them "just to check" she is working there etc as you are chasing her rent.....

I am mean.....

Has the tenant handed the keys back, or have you just heard nothing, if the latter then be very careful about changing locks, putting new tenants in etc.etc.

I have no deposit as it was paid to carringtons spitalfeilds and I had them shut down after the bh manager owed me so much.. a few deposits went with it..

I've also no idea if she's still there as I'm in Somerset not London?! anyone want to go and ring her bell?? (oi oi)

I think small claims might work as she earns enough, and might not want the embarrassment of papers being served at her work, that said she is American maybe they don't think like that?

who knows, but shes got 6 weeks notice at which time i vow never to rent to americans again.

she is just so so useless, called an electrician out to change a light bulb and expected me to pay for it, turned off a stopcock for the hot water and wondered why it wasnt working, i had to drive 3 hours there to turn it back on and was like, you must have turned it off? it couldnt do that itself.

Wow... sounds like a high maintenance model.

Maybe she could of chaged the lightbulb by holding onto it and waiting for the world to revolve round her?

Moonlight flits (with deposit in lieu of rent) are becoming increasingly common, as tenants rarely get their deposits back these days.

this is true, a guy left one of my others a month ago, had made 6 huge plant pot holes in the carpets which had rotted to the floor, and wondered why I wanted his whole deposit to replace the 1000sq ft carpet,

(and repaint every wall, reattach light fittings, replace the mouldy washing machine, clean the whole flat, repair the sash window he broke, repair the wood floor he managed to gouge massive marks in, the sofa he ripped etc etc etc)

A perfectly fair retention of deposit in those circumstances. Sadly though, this is far from being the case in a lot of instances.

I believe her deposit was taken by the carringtons estate agent who was shut down owing a few hundred grand to various people...

i dont use estate agents any more, do it all myself now.
