After 1 year of legal battle and differences, we have finally been able to recover our full deposit. This agency tried to impose a rent increase that was completely at odds with our tenancy agreement on us. They have continuously tried to manipulate, gaslight, and threaten us to accept this illegal rent increase for months. We reported them to the Property Redress scheme and won. After that, they tried again to steal our money through the tenancy deposit scheme. Good thing they were smart enough to communicate an internal email trail showing how their own legal counsel had told them that the rent increase they were trying to impose on us was illegal. So we won again :) But it has taken us hours and hours of discussions, education, and patience to get there. I would advise that you save yourself the trouble and not approach this agency with a 10 foot pole it will be the best decision you made on that day.
