Your landlord should have evidence to prove their costs. They should consider how much damage there is and the age and condition of the item before it was damaged. If you think the amount your landlord or agent is asking for is too high, you could check the cost yourself by getting your own quotes.
Can a landlord charge more than the deposit?
Yes. A landlord can ask for extra money to cover the cost of damages greater than the security deposit. Landlords may need to take legal action to recover extra money. the cost of fixing the damage is more than the security deposit.
What do I need to do to dispute unfair landlord charges?
You need to create a paper trail to dispute unfair landlord charges, so you have evidence to back up your claims if you end up having to sue. For this reason, you need to prepare a formal business letter that you can mail to your landlord. You can find a blank template for a business letter on whatever word processing application you use.
What to do when a tenant makes a noise complaint?
In my case when I receive a complaint from a tenant about a loud or noisy tenant, I do just what your landlord did and contact the tenant that has supposedly been “noisy” and ask them to be more aware of noise levels. Landlord/ Tenant noise complaints aren’t going to go away anytime… probably ever!
Can a falsely accused person Sue the government?
Even once innocence has been proven, many find their reputations tarnished. The falsely accused can sue for monetary compensation and official acknowledgement of wrongful accusation.
Can anything be done regarding neighbours making false accusations?
Just keep a diary, keep making complaints and don’t react to them if… If both neighbours feel the same way, perhaps you have a problem you are unaware of? if you’re all under the same Housing Association, perhaps you should be asking for a move. Just move out, lifes too short. Someone is going to end up getting hurt.
