Do you know if a letting agency in uk will normally press charges if we pay our last rent with the deposit?

We want to leave them the deposit they hold instead of paying rent as we have very difficult financial situation & can't afford to pay. There will be no damages to property and will leave in sopt on condition.

Answers:
we did the same thing but we didnt go though an agent i think you will be ok as long as you tell them that is what you want to do

I live in the US and I've done it before several times, 1 landlord didn't like the idea, but she was just the owner of the apartment we lived in, not the complex. I've lived in houses where the owners have been ok with it.

I don't see why you can't.

that is against the terms of most contracts my husband an di rent a flat out and our last tenants used the deposit against the last months rent (just told us they were doing it gave us no choice) we then lost several 100 pounds on cleaning the flat getting rid of mice redecorating etc

the deposit is ther to protect the landlord from this sort of thing rather than give the tenant a month of not paying rent

if you leave the property as yopu claim you will you will get the deposit back
