A long-standing tenant passed away 2 weeks ago. She moved into the property in 1997 (pre tenancy deposit scheme). Her alcoholic son is currently "living' there and has said in no uncertain terms that the bond she paid my late husband in 97 should come to him. I took over as her landlord in 2011 (when my husband passed away). Obviously she paid her bond/deposit to my late husband but both have passed away, and it wasn't put into a tps as they didnt exist then. She signed up to a new STA with me but surely her son cannot claim to be owed her deposit that she paid to my late husband?? Any advice greatly appreciated :(grin):
