We have rented a three bedroom family house from easy-let.co.uk in february 2008. We signed the contract and we paid them £600 cash deposit. the contract was signed for a period of 6 months. I have received a promotion from the company which involved moving into another city. We informed easy-let that we will not require the house after the initial period of 6 months of contract. when we took the keys back there was no one available to inspect the house and so we left the keys with the secretary at their office and requested that the owner should call us ASAP. When he did called us some hours later we requested that he sould send someone to check how we left the house as we needed to get our deposit back. The owner said that he trusts us and that everything will be ok. A few days later when we requested our deposit back he found various reasons why we can not get our money back. One of them was that we left the house very dirty and untidy, which it was an absolute lie as we cleaned even the windows and we fixed the fences around the property, which where failing when we moved in. Another reason was that we didnt complied with the contract we signed. This was not true either as we took the case to a lawyer and got our story checked out.The lawyer said that altough we are in the right he can not take the case to court because its not worth it for him as it is only £600. We got hte same answer from other three solicitors offices. No one takes these cases as they are not WORTH IT as it is only a small summ . I have spoken since to several people who all rented properties from the easy-let.co.uk and they all got their deposits forfeited for the same reasons as us. We need somebody to help stop this unfair practice. They are abusing the situation we are by kn owing that no lawyer or solicitor would take on a case so small so they do whatever they want with us and our hard earned money.
