My brother lets a house and his having some issues with his LL over damp. The place need a damp proof but the guy is trying to blame him for it and has threatened not to return the deposit.
Now I'm a LL and the whole thing stinks to me but when I asked if he had got a confirmation letter from the DPS at the start of the tenancy and they didn't. So I'm assuming no deposit registered.
Am I right in thinking that my brother can counter claim in the event of him withholding deposit for 3 x the deposit?
