Before firing the big guns, have you asked the landlord what the deduction was for? Have you checked the contract?
I've learned in France that if you attack you get nowhere, asking works better.
Just FYI

Before firing the big guns, have you asked the landlord what the deduction was for? Have you checked the contract?An anyone help? We rented an apartment in Paris for ten months then moved to our own property in the south west. We gave notice and agreed a departure date in December 2011 we had to pay two months rent as deposit which we found out would be refunded within 8 weeks of our departure. We have just found out that the landlord has deducted 2,400 euros from our deposit with no paperwork or justification!
Can anyone advise of a body or organisation that might be able to help?
Thanks
Greg
ADILThanks for that, the landlord has now produced a list of works and replacements which is fictional in it's content!! We are taking action
