Personally, I think you're stuffed!

I've never heard of two deposits being taken. I only take one and "hope" it covers everything - what a good idea though.

As you are not in Spain to argue the point, I don't think there is anything you can do about it now.

I agree


we moved out of our last place in September - by Xmas we were still being told that final bills hadn't come in - not that we believed that for a second

they were holding 1400€

in mid Jan we demanded to see bills & a final account - we knew there were several back bills for electricity & so on that we hadn't paid because they had never shown them to us - but we did expect to get something back

guess what?

the final account shows that with 'repairs' the account balance was all of the 1400€ except about 3€

we have yet to see the bills for the repairs - even if they totally redecorated the place it couldn't have come to what they are claiming...........hmm might just chase that up

Anticipating just that problem in the piso we lived in for a few months....we gave notice then stayed until we had covered our 1800 deposit as we knew we'd never get a cent back.

Apart from a slanging match and a smashed car window which though annoying (and I shall get revenge) cost much less to repair than the money we would have lost....nothing happened.

yes, well we were stupid enough to trust someone we had known for 8 years..........
