After waiting over a month, i finally recieved a letter and a cheque from my previous landlord (its a company not an individual). However, they have taken £85 for cleaning the kitchen even though me and my housemate went around the whole property scrubbing it, even to the point of being on hands an knees cleaning the kitchen! In the accompanying letter it states that if i dispute this i can return the cheque along with a letter outlining my points. After waiting for over a month, I'm now expected to give him the cheque back, try and convince him to give me the full bond and then wait how long until the next/replacement cheque arrives?!?! We were good tennants who didnt complain about anything, when our shower broke we contacted him, they replaced it with an electric one and then left it un plumbed for a month until we moved out. The only other conversation i had with him during our tennancy was that for a couple of nights we made a bit of noise and the neighbours complaned (its flats) i was very appologetic and said we didnt realise and it wouldnt happen again, his attitude was just rude and sharp. Anyway if anyone has any advice of how to deal with this to get the bond back, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Let me add another side to this, there seems to be a lot of people with different views, which is obvious because everyone has different standards and ideas of what makes a good place to live. I have just applied for rent of a room in the new apartments on trafalgar street. Its far more than a house would have cost me and is far smaller, i only get one bedroom and one livingroom/kitchen. I work in the city (about 3 mins walk from my acomodation) and i am new to sheffield. Iknow nothing about the surrounding areas. This flat not only cuts down on my travel time to work (including less petrol cost) but it is also going to allow me to get used to the city and learn more about the suburbs. An estate agent is never going to bad mouth an area no matter how bad it is, i was showed a property by the mannor estate which i have heard is not a nice place, obviously it is their job to sell it. I feel safer in the city centre than i would in a random suburb, if i want to go out i can do so without having to factor in £10 for a taxi (and the trouble of actually finding one!) City centre living for some is great, for others it wouldnt work. I personaly cant wait to move in.
