The deposit is the tenants money , if by the sounds of it , you had the agent lodge the deposit , you must ask the agent to be in touch with the deposit scheme , it will help your case if you have written to the tenant , giving a clear breakdown of your claim , this you can then forward to the agent as proof of your claim against the tenant . The agent is either holding the deposit ,and took out an insurance on it , or they lodged into the other kind of scheme , either way , the agent holds the key no to open the claim , if the tenant agrees to your statement , the funds will be split accordingly , if however the tenant disagrees with you , it's then up to you to provide all the evidence to support your claim , that is where a good inventory , lots of photos of the property , before the tenant moved in , and their signed dated agreement to the documentation , you will also need the documented evidence of when they left the property , witnessed and also signed and dated . Then the case will be looked at by some one at the deposit scheme , and judged accordingly , if the deposit doesn't cover all your expenses and their rent arrears , I consider it a waste of effort , time and money to go to a small claims court , even if you win your case , there is very little chance of receiving your judgement , to many of these kind just ignore the CCJ , it's very stressful and unfortunately , easier on you and your family to put it down to experience and just be grateful you weren't involved in court costs to remove the tenant .
I have now decided it's best to make a good inventory etc , get the prospective tenant to pay for the insured deposit scheme , always ask for references , most bad tenants won't have them , do some checking out , spend some time talking to the person , even visit their current residence , on the spur of the moment , you can then see how they treat their rental , it can be quite an eye opener , you then hold the deposit , at the end of the tenancy , you can then present the tenant with your claim , and if you are convinced it's a fair and proper claim , if they don't agree , offer them them difference as settlement , then say , take me to court .
