I understand there might be justifiable reasons and that can be complex. However, where tenants have deposits withheld even though they feel they have done everything correctly during the term of the tenancy, including, as I have seen with long-term tenants, where there were no breakages and only literally the normal wear and tear over a number of years, and they need the deposits to move on with other tenancies, they are dangling in the wind. They are in a very precarious situation.
