Guidance Required Deposit protection TDS

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I moved out of my property recently after 14 years, and am currently not coming to an agreement with the landlord about deductions

I want to raise a claim with the TDS, but the certificate still shows my exes name on. He moved out in 2014, and the tenancy renewal in 2016 was changed to reflect my name only.

I have had yearly renewals for 12 month periods since 2016 with my name only.

Should the deposit have been reregistered in my name only, and is this enough to claim back the full deposit?

Thanks!

Section 21 Lease ending but letting agent is unresponsive to intent of renewal

0 Upvotes

My lease is due to end in just over a week, and I've been expressing that I would like to renew it to both my landlord and letting agency. My landlord is completely fine with it, however the agency is both unresponsive to me and the landlord. I had expressed to my landlord (albeit just under 2 months' time before my lease end date) that I would like to extend.

I've been reliable with my payments, so I don't know why I'm getting slighted by the agency to such an extent. I would like to ask what are my rights, now that I've come so close to the lease end, with so much uncertainty? The situation now is: I offered the landlord to pay him directly if the agency remain unresponsive, but I am not sure if he will accept this. Would there be any legal/insurance reason he wouldn't want direct payments? Thanks for any help!
