I plan to leave my current rented room next month.
I was talking to one of the girls I shared with and she has told me that previously, the other girls that are there have held on to the deposits of previous renters that had not gotten someone in to rent the room. I think it will be very hard to rent this room out as it's 500 per month and plenty of places going cheaper for same standard. Plus there's one other thing, which I won't go into detail on, that I think prospective renters wouldn't be too happy with in the future.
If I don't get someone in I expect they'll try hold the deposit to cover the months rent, but I don't think they have any right whatsoever to do this. The landlord doesn't seem to care who or what is there once he gets his full rent for the month.
Can anyone enlighten me on my chances of getting the deposit back?
