Timescale for return of Bond

[wilks07]

I recently moved out of rented property, what is the time-scale for the return of the bond...

Thanks

You should have insisted the landlord check the house/flat with you on the day you left to make sure he/she is satisfied everything is OK and of course to swop meter readings etc. I always insist on doing this with my tenants. I reloease the bond to them either that day after inspection or certainly within a couple of days.

They then should release the bond asap if there is no outstanding rent/cleaning charges etc.

By not having them inspect it with you, you leave it open for them to charge you for something or hold some of it back.

How long has it been ?
