Quick question on desposit return for shorthold tenancy agreement

[ScarySquirrel]

Hi all,

I have done lots of searches on Google but cannot find an answer.

Is there a law on how long it should take for the landlord/letting agency to return a deposit to you?

I moved out on 29th August and was told there were a couple of bits they needed to check with the landlord (10 minute inventory on move in and 50 minute inventory on check out - WTF? Not happy!). I still haven't heard back about this and I think they are taking the **** now.

Thanks

it will say on your contract. IIRC there is no time period by law in the uk, so down to your contract. Wish they would employ American law.

Ok cool. Thank you.
