Having left a property asked for the deposit to be returned as this was under the contract against damage to property and furniture - no damage.

Was told that the deposit would be held until all bills had been paid - never missed paying a bill. Bills are water, basura and electricity.

The electricity was changed to a dual meter and the company had problems sending out bills - none for 4 months: the agent complained and they sorted it out. However the same is happening again no bill has been received, I am now being told that a solicitor is to get involved and send letters to the company asking them to send out a bill :

My question therefore is this: Can a tenant be held responsible for the inability of a company not sending out bills and for solicitors fees to sort it out ???
