Hi all
I have lived in my flat for just short of 6 years, it is a local housing authority property, i never had to pay any deposit when i signed the tenancy nearly 6 years ago. Now i have been informed that i owe them 1 weeks rent as a deposit, are they allowed to just decide i owe them a weeks rent as a deposit years into my tenancy? I have never been asked for this before today.
The only thing i know that has changed is that they have joined with another local housing authority over a year ago, besides this there has been no changes and my rent is paid weekly via DD.
Cheers to anyone who can provide 100% clarity on this.
