OK, I might be in the wrong place here so I apologize if so.
Right, I have been at my present address for nearly ten years and am about to terminate my tenancy within the next couple of months.
When I moved in I was told that there would be no re-decoration or re-carpeted. This was fine as far as I was concerned, it was a bit scabby but nothing to worry about and things have been good.
Three years into the tenancy, the landlord changed the agents that managed the property and a new contract was drawn up (no worries there either). Anyway.....
Within that time (the last ten years) there has never been a refurb of any kind and the decor is the same as is the carpets. The carpets are the cheap, low cost type and have obvious wear 'n' tear.
Now my question is, am I liable to lose my deposit even though the carpets and decor were not replaced/re-decorated nor a refurb. Is it fair that I should lose my deposit ?
Thank you in advance
