I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who is a foreign national.
She rented a house 3 years ago through a letting agent. Deposit was paid to the letting agent, however the rental contract has the landlord's name on it.
She has now given notice on the house to the letting agent, but he says that it's nothing to do with him and that she needs to contact her landlord regarding her notice and also regarding the return of her deposit of €650.
Does anyone know what her rights are? Is she entitled to have the deposit returned from the letting agent as this is who she gave the deposit to?
Edited to add: the house is in fantastic condition and they have been great tenants. If anything the house will be returned in better condition than they got it in.
Any advice?
TIA
