Tenant leaving without giving much notice

[Gordon Gekko]

It is extraordinary how pro-tenant this country is.

If you lose this, we may all throw the towel in...

It is extraordinary how pro-tenant this country is.

Is it any wonder why landlords are leaving the market?
Is is any wonder we have so many lettings on Airbnb?
Is it any wonder we have so many "empties"?

Update on rtb hearing:

Well, got the findings of the rtb this morning and thankfully they have found in our favour and stated that we were entitled to retain the deposit in full as a result of insufficient notice and damage above normal wear and tear.

It pays to do everything by the book and record everything.

Congratulations and thanks for the updates.

Well done !

You were 100% correct to hold your ground here.

Out of interest, what next for the remaining monies due for damage to your property ?

Is the small claims court an option for you (I don't know btw, just wondering ?

Everyone needs to be reasonable in this life and if your tenants had come to you having lost their jobs, having to return to live with parents etc. then you'd probably have considered helping them out - but likewise, they had a duty to look after your property etc. and did not so don't be too kind is my view.
