Guest Post- Tips for getting your deposit back

Like most students I'm not winding down for the year and packing my stuff away ready to leave university so when Lets Live Here who are based in Newcastle contacted me with some tips on how to ensure you all get your deposit back I was keen to share! 

It’s the end of another year and you’re ready to move out of your flat. You’re packed up and then you’re out of there – ready for summer! Then the bomb drops – your landlord or letting agent isn’t giving back all of your deposit. You’re now out of pocket and angry.This is a problem many students and even young professionals encounter when renting property. Some student letting agents are notorious for taking away chunks of a deposit for the smallest of things. Here are some top tips to avoid losing out from Newcastle agency Lets live here. 

A big announcement!

Firstly, I'm not pregnant, or engaged! I've kept this quite hushed for a while now but finally, it's all signed, sealed and official so I can announce my post uni plans to you all.

The education bit of my degree is over 100% defiantly over, after three years of lectures I've had enough and need a change so despite literally what I just said, Richard and I have extended our degrees by a year and transferred onto an international experience degree. From 24th July we will be heading to the Czech Republic for a year to work on an organic farm.

Huck who owns the farm, also has a couple of horses and I'm really excited to be getting back in the saddle and really working on my riding skills. I got some experience last week when I went to stay with my friend Jo who works on a horse yard, mucking out, riding and cleaning tack, which was really therapeutic once I worked out how to put it back together!

'Can I have a sugar lump please?'

Also, Huck has sheep, which means lambs in the spring and frolicking lambs are literally the cutest things ever, spring will be amazing!

Flights and insurance are now booked I've started shopping and I'm so excited to go.

If anyone has links to any Czech blogs then please do share!

Keep it Scrimpy,
Laura.
