See here for previous which also links to the earlier part too

Part 1:

Part 2:

After telling them I've reported them to the police, they vacated not long after.

He sent me this via email

"I have already contacted the police to report your behaviour and will press charges if you make ANY attempt at contacting me. Please return the deposit immediately. This can be sent today WITHOUT explanation. You DO NOT need to contact me to do this. You can make a transfer and no contact has to be made. "

He thinks I'm unstable and harassing him by telling him stuff I legally have to ie: such and such a person is coming to view your room at such and such a time, or "There's no water and the water company is looking into it", "Water is now working", "Door locks are an issue", "Door locks are now fixed" etc... Yknow usual house stuff as well as of course telling him that it would be better if he leaves earlier after physically threatening a younger woman

I charged £100 deposit on £400 (bills inclusive) rent. He deliberately caused this damage when he threatened a younger woman

Now given he said that I have to send his deposit back (which would cost more than £100 to rectify) , and that I can't contact him to ask him what his bank account details are, it means that per his instructions even if I wanted to give him his money back, I can't

They could theoretically do a charge back but then I have ample evidence to show my bank that not only did he live here but also the damage he caused was worth more than £100, so that's a charge back that I will just win anyway

But hey, I'm complying with his requests to not contact him even if that's for his bank details. So it's tough for him
