HiOur tenant has left our property after Section 21 notice, but doesn't want to come for inventory check out as he is in rent arrears nearly twice his deposit. He don't want to pay any money to us and abusing us, he left property with a mess. he told us that he has left the property and keys but we can see his few items. Would it be okay to enter in our property now. would we get the deposite back. should we go to DPS or court to speed up the process. Kind Regards

Thank you very much. He is trying to threaten us and making issues for not paying rent which should have been resolved by contacting british gas service, but he didn't. Now he is saying that we harass them, where as he is harrassing us. he ageed time for inventory twice and didn't come. he is abusing us. would sms stand as a evidence in court.
