We're having some problems with our former landlord. We rented one of his properties from Sept. 04 to Dec. 18th 05. For the first six months, we had a tenancy agreement with an estate agent and then the landlord took over with his own agreement. Not having received our deposit back in January, we saw the landlord at the property one Saturday and he told us we would get it back once he had had the immersion heater and the pull cord in the toilets repaired. After looking into the legal side of stuff and talking to our former estate agent and to a sollicitor, we wrote to him last week saying the repairs to the immersion heater were not our responsibility and that we would seek legal advice should he not return the deposit within 2 weeks. We received our deposit yesterday minus a bunch of repairs that have been done over the course of our tenancy, incl. repairs to the garage lock and door, fixing a blockage in the bath tub. There are also 2 other repairs which appeared just before or upon leaving the property, namely repairs to the pull cord in the toilets and to the outdoor light. Funnily enough, all the figures quoted in the statement sent with our deposit are round figures and no invoice or receipt of any kind has been sent with it.  Now 2 questions: among these repairs, which ones is the tenant responsible for? Can the landlord be charging us now for stuff that has happened months ago and for which he never said (until we met him in January) we were going to pay or were responsible for?
