Hi,
What can a landlord take your deposit for? I'm a little anxious about moving out of there worried they'll take all the deposit.
The main issues with the flat are
Walls - they're white walls, and I don't think they've been painted for at least 6 years, they were slightly dirty when we moved in 4 years ago, now they're dirtier, definitely need painting before anyone else moves in.
Floor - lots of dimples in the floor, someone previous worn high heels, however since we moved in more wear marks are on the floor, from the sofa rubbing on the floor it seems.
Walls - some crumbling paint near the windows due to damp, mold grew behind the paint, think that needs sanding / paining.
Window ledge - needs painting.
Carpet in bedroom - knackered due to moths, a year or so after we moved in we got moth infestation.
The sealant in the bathroom around the bath seems to always get moldy and need replacing.
The washing machine door seal has got moldy too, no matter how much we cleaned it.
And a hole in the wall - I plan to somehow cover this up before we move. (very small thumb sized hole).
Is most of this wear and tear? I'd probably say the matress needs changing, I wouldn't want to sleep in it if I was moving in, it's too old.
