Well, most of mine was for communal stuff, except £1.50 for 'hoovering' or some such nonsense... I couldn't see anything mucky about the carpet. there was probably a piece of thread or something there that had to be picked up...

Damn. This means I'm going to have to:

a) turn my flatmates into deposit-obsessed neat freaks, or
b) leave last, and tidy before I go.

The trick is to put blu tack marks on wall, dirty chair and bin and marks on carpet down on your inventory at the start of the year :wink:

Sounds like they're very anal about the tiniest little bit in order to get as much as possible. Eep

I'm glad you said that, I was beginning to wonder where my money had gone! I got £180, and I couldn't believe I had spent it all without noticing.
They must make a fortune out of all those deposits gathering interest in the bank for weeks on end.

I got charged some communal charges (which I am not bothered about) and 32quid for my wall! which is bullcrap! they paint the walls with self-harming emo paint anyway. but seems like I was the only one in my house who got charged (one of my house mates had dart holes everywhere and didnt get charged a penny!!)

I lost £10 for excess cleaning in the bathroom.

Normally I'd accept this, but I made sure everything was clean in there. I was up at 4am, using all my cleaning products on it and my dad had a double check in there and everything before we left.

I've emailed the residence officer though, so I hope it's sorted out.

I also lost about £3 on excess rubbish from one of my flatmates.

I unfortunately couldn't as I moved into the townhouses LOL. Would've looked a bit odd.

I emailed Jacqui Sharpe/Brian/Sharpe or whatever, but I also CCd it to Ruth too. I am gonna blame the lateness of their reply on them having to sort out 1st years accomodation...

I am back there next week anyway so I will just go in person I reckon.
