I read about Deregulation Act of 2015, does it not apply here and LL does not have to serve PI every time it is renewed ?
second : Sept 2017 - Sept 2018 (contract exchanged over email in Nov 2017, dates backdated to Sept. 2017 which LL said for accounting purposes, but DPS protection started in Dec 2017)
So, what are the instances in which law had been breached and why ?
Start with a Letter Before Action if you like
I don’t wish to put a spanner in the works but an alternative approach would be for the OP to get out
I can't help but feel some distaste about this query.It certainly does sound as if the landlord has been negligent in his legal duties,but nothing is said about the overall situation.More information might change my opinion.Was the deposit returned without quibble,was he a decent landlord overall, maybe struggling with big problems,why did he "want them out"? I like money as much as the next person,but just because you can do something legally does not make it the decent way to behave.It could be that he is a rogue and deserves to be punished,but that is not clear.

also when presenting my case, can I cite past legal cases to judge, i.e "Ayannuga and Swindells [2012] EWCA Civ 1789" ti cite Prescribed Info is as much as important as the deposit etc,,,, or will be Judge not like it as they may perceive as I am teaching him/her....
If the decision is not in my favour, can these money claims heard in county courts also be appealed ?
the reason I wanted solicitor is they can cite section numbers of the breach and may hv more law points...
but only to me and not to the other joint tenant
Each time the deposit is received by the landlord, which for all subsequent tenancies after the first is deemed to be the first day of the new tenancy, the landlord have 30 day

I hv come across this case you cited above as well. Despite this case having led to the Deregulation Act 2015 for Tenancy, I can still cite it as you noted the case is still relevant to mine as section215B(1) (c) & (F) was not complied right ?Just need to find a way to get this case reference submitted electronically for the remote hearing...if I could not, will I still be able to cite it ?
