It said the family had found private lets but lost the properties because the council took too long to consider their requests help to pay the deposit.
What happened to the deposit they got back from the property they left? |
|
By:
It's ring fenced and you only get it back after inspections and possible deductions. You never get it back before moving into another place, if at all.
|

By:
Maybe some nasty landlord found loads of excuses to keep it and it was given before the Tenancy deposit scheme existed.
Maybe they had no income for some reason and needed to eat Maybe there was no deposit Maybe they lost jobs or had an illness. Let's not imagine that though, eh? Let's just assume they wanted to ponce off the state. It must be fantastic to be a family of 5 living in a hotel room. |

That's wrong about deposits saddo. STUDYFORM's first line is wrong as well. |
|
By:
If they'd been Somalian they'd have got one quick regardless, very unfair these days.
|

By:
You can't just say it's wrong Dr. I personally know people who have to move before getting it back. Are you saying everyone gets it back on the morning they move home?
|
|
By:
They get it back once both parties have agreed the settlement - usually it takes a week or so AFTER leaving the property. Which is usually the day people move into another one.
For which deposits would need to be paid BEFORE moving in. I moved house about a month ago - and had this very situation. Saddo is absolutely correct. Although he isn't right about the special rules for Somalians. The tenancy deposit scheme started in 2007. It is possible that these people moved into their previous place before that. |

By:
Crippen, wrong (again) this time on the only subject you should know anything about!
This is where you don't return to the thread usually. In fact if there is dispute between tenant and landlord upon exiting a property it can take months to get the money back. |

I even put it in bold so even people like SYUDYFORM couldn't get it wrong. Yet he did. |
|
By:
The landlord you're leaving has no interest in whether you've moved into another property before he okays the deposit for release.
|
|
By:
Saddo hits nail on the Head ,the Sir Name Burn was probably overlooked by officials .
|
|
By:
I should add to my last post; and neither does the deposit protection people where the deposit has been kept.
|
|
By:
So you think the landlord ok's the deposit for release before a tenant vacates a property?
Not a chance. |
|
By:
No, that's a figment of your imagination STUDY.
|
|
By:
most tenants move from one place to another on the same day - they need a deposit to move in before they actually move in.
That deposit is often about the same amount as that from the place they leave... Are you saying, Crippen, that the landlord of the place to be vacated will agree with the holder of the deposit to release it, BEFORE they vacate? Is that what you're saying? |
|
By:
I asked a similar question, no chance of getting it back in time to give it to new landlord.
|
|
By:
wrong sort to get a place - only for the marauders from the continent allowed three bed houses
|
|
By:
That's correct saddo.
Unless you have a very obliging landlord. There's nothing to say he can't pay you before you vacate. |
|
By:
Not pay you, should be, okay the release of funds from the deposit protection people.
|
|
By:
In your world of the sleazy landlord, the people leaving a property don't matter - it doesn't occur to you that they move on the same day.
There is no way you won't hold the deposit back (whether you have it or not) before checking the property. It just doesn't matter or occur to you that tenants might well be moving the same day. There's nothing to say it, no. But it doesn't happen, does it? Come on.... answer the q, crippen. Are you saying, Crippen, that the landlord of the place to be vacated will agree with the holder of the deposit to release it, BEFORE they vacate? Not, "are they allowed to" but "Do they?" |

By:
Obfuscation for the sake of it there Dr. The problem exists as described, pointless trying to mislead.
|
|
By:
can't have this type of british getting housed ahead of more deserving jobseekers from outside
|
|
By:
you should not get the deposit until it has been ok by the landlord
whats the problem? |
|
By:
see how the council used successful tactics against this british family for three years
but now have been found out |
|
By:
Because the new landlord wants his deposit before you move in. A simple bridging loan system is required.
|
|
By:
ah ok moisok, perhaps it wasn't the landlords fault
|
|
By:
thanks saddo, not the landlords fault then
|
|
By:
No one's fault, there is a gap. Most poor folk don't have a spare monkey-or more- laid around.
|
|
By:
there are no poor people in britain
|
|
By:
There are millions who could't come up with a monkey tomorrow.
|
|
By:
that's true, that doesn't mean they are poor
|
|
By:
it simply means they have spent it
|
|
By:
9 grand in compensation
|
|
By:
having said that it is a terrible way for a family to live, perhaps a month or two should be enough time to sort out these things
|

By:
Come across on the ferry and you won't have problems with housing

By:
Yes wrong Name on form , Name change to Abdul Burns ,Job done .

What problem are you referring to saddo? You get your deposit back at the end of your contract, and when the landlord has indicated to the deposit protection people that he is happy to let them go ahead and pay back the deposit. What is there to misunderstand? |
|
By:
FFS!!!!!!!!
No answer by crippen. As always. last try: Are you saying, Crippen, that the landlord of the place to be vacated will agree with the holder of the deposit to release it, BEFORE they vacate? Is that what you're saying? lfc saying there are no poor people in Britain. I was doing Statler and Waldorf a disservice comparing you two to them. |
|
By:
Your 14.03 post implied that the same money can be used for both deposits. It cannot, as you know. Pretending you don't understand the problem does not mean there is no problem.
