It is coming to the end of my tenancy now in this house in Lancaster, and we are all leaving. Two of the lads will be living here again next year with two girls they got to know during the year.

The landlord sent us a letter saying that if the lads want, they can state the house is in good state and sign, with the two girls to say that nothing needs deducting out of my and the other lad who's leaving for goods deposits.

Now they are deciding not to do this in case the girls have a problem with the house and think something needs paying for for our duration in the house, which yes is fair enough. I am just a little annoyed because I haven't socialised in the living room much at all this year as I am always sat upstairs on my laptop or I am out, so the next girls have actually been in there more than me.

The carpet has obviously had things knocked over it on their drunken nights in, and I am going to be fined for it along with the lads when I haven't even been there, so it seems they are favouring the next tenants over me. I have put £30 worth of stuff in my room (a large wipe board, a shelf and the lock on the door with key) plus I intended on leaving the girl who is going to be moving in a full set on unopened bedding.

Now I am thinking of taking the whole lot out of the room and not leaving the bedding, as it is likely I will lose that value in my deposit, so why should I give the landlord in effect, double the damages for things that aren't even my fault?

Comments please!
