You should try to sort out the matter without court.krishna6693 wrote:Hi Friends
I am on a Tier 1 General visa and will apply for ILR in Apr 2015.
Recenly, I moved from my rented flat and there is a dispute with my landlord regarding my deposit to be returned to me.
If we could not reach an agreement by discussions, landlord or myself may approach court.
If I enter into court proceedings, will it affect or my ILR application be rejected.
Should I agree to landlord's claims although they are not true.
Thank you very much for your help.

It will have no effect on ILR. If you do google search for getting deposit back then you will know how to handle this. I have done and have no effect to ILR.krishna6693 wrote:Hi Friends

It is very difficult and almost impossible to prove the amount your landlord is asking, i.e. double the amount of deposit. Landlord had to prove this by giving evidence in paper not just by saying. If your deposit had not been protected in an approved scheme then your landlord is immediately liable to a fine upto three times your deposit by just approaching court. if you do a little research then you are intelligent enough to find out how to fight. Unfortunately, These type of landlord see immigrant as money tree and had to be stopped. I have fought two landlords like these on my own and got all money. I earn a decent salary (higher rate tax payer) but had fought for my hard earned £100. Rest is upto you that how you take it forward.krishna6693 wrote:Thank you so much friends.
I am in a good job, very decent salary so me leaving my deposit or paying extra to the landlord is really not an issue for me.
Its just so unfair and unreasonable as landlord is demanding double the amount of my deposit and I have been trying my best to discuss and negotiate since last one month.
Had the landlord been fair, I would have just agreed.
Worst case, I have to stand firm against such people.
But good to know that there will be no effect on ILR.
Thank you once again
