Non refund of tenancy deposit
Hi,
My ex landlords have gone back to the UK and refused to refund me any of my £1000.00 deposit. We have disagreed on £350 but they refuse to refund anything unless we agree to the £350. I have contacted my solicitor in the UK but they say as our written agreement was conducted in France it would come under the french legal system. Not sure of the correct procedure so would appreciate any advice.

How about checking in with the equivalent of CAB at the Marie. Maybe then they could tell you where you yourself stand. I personnaly have no idea but just a suggestion.

Re: Non refund of tenancy deposit
Was the contract/rental agreement you signed written in French and undersigned under French law ? Or was it written in English or some sort of casual arrangement between you and your proprietor ?lesmimosa wrote:Hi,

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
It was a written agreement between us. Because we wouldn't agree and sign a document with the amount they wanted to deduct, as they had no proof to back up their figures, they refused to refund us anything or give us our post.
Just thought I would let you know the main problem incase it's relevant.
Regards

Maybe you should return to the property and take control again. Let the ex-landlord that you're living there again and probably you're going to live there until the thousand amount of the money disputed. Oh yeah, stop paying for the place. Now,within the winter months have arrived, the X cannoty get you out of the place until spring.
The lawyers cannot help you and it works exactly for the X too. Just look for a free rent for this winter.
Invite a few friends and maybe they can give you moral support during the winter months.
Good luck

FACEBOOK THOUGHTS: Remember that old phrase: if you're not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold.
