I was renting a room privately even though I signed a contract for around 8 months. I was forced to move out over a disagreement as I found out that he wasnt the actual owner of the property and he was actually subletting the rooms.
He owed me my deposit back as well as 2 weeks rent as he made me leave within 3 days of the argument.
His brother gave me the cheque which he assured me that monies were in his account. I was suspicious about the cheque as i knew it could possibly bounce back which it obviously did.
Anyway this has been going on since January. Him and his dirty brother have been ignoring my calls as well as not opening the house door. When I did get through by phone I became abusive over the frustration and havent bothered contacting them since.
Its a lot of money for me to lose £1000. They have no assets as they are real slumdogs.
Should I just write a letter of action and then take it to court? I dont think i will get anything back as they have nothing worth taking and as mentioned no assets.
The real landlord is taking them to court as they are not moving out from the flat and havent paid since October 2012.
They also scammed the other housemates that were living with us by not giving there deposit back either.
The deposit wasnt protected in the scheme.
Any help would be highly useful :=(: thanks
