今天一大早就起床去tower hamlets citizen advice bureau, 8点到的，那时候已经排了不少人了。等了一个半小时终于开门了，每个人都要拿号，按照号码顺序依次见adviser.
其实去了以后才知道，第一次去见adviser也就只能给你提一些general advice，可能是因人而异，我见的adviser人很nice, 但是懂得不多，连deposit scheme都不知道。。囧。。。anyway, 她很同情我的遭遇并且说房东给的list is very ridiculous and he is not going to win. 她帮我预约了下周二见socilitor, 20分钟的consultation是免费的，如果需要更久要单独预约并收费。其实我选择去见完全是为了买个心理安慰，反正走dispute肯定是定了。9月30号发出去的邮件给房东要求填好表格并寄回，10天之后就可以正式跟第三方提出仲裁了。
我做了一个excel表格，针对每一项依次提出反驳并要求提供证据，这个表格我不会发给房东negotiate，而是会直接在下周dispute的时候发给仲裁方，相信仲裁方也会appreciate我的effort，因为会帮助到他们加快审理我的case.
暂时就这些了，有其他消息我会继续来更新的。谢谢大家的建议，非常感激！
首先，我是通过中介租的房子，押金也有在My deposit scheme上注册，所以搬离房子三个月内是受保护的。昨天收到中介发来的一长串proposed deductions，被惊到了。。加了加总共有5千镑左右！！绝大部分的赔偿都是不合理的，而且根本就没有坏！房子在check-out的时候condition是很好的，check-out report也没有提及有major damage, 最多就是冰箱的shelf有crack等等一些minor damage.

我已经发了正式邮件给中介，要求提供evidence of deductions, 如果10天之内还是没有收到回复的话，就通过第三方押金机构正式raise dispute. Dispute的流程是2-3个月.
请问有遇到类似情况的朋友吗，你们都是怎样处理的，押金最后顺利要回来了吗?
你们建议请Solicitor吗？solicitor是按小时收费的，一般是200-300一小时，特别贵。但是请solicitor的话写信中介的话事情说不定会得到更快的解决，好纠结。。有什么建议吗？
明天我会去local council, 他们有提供free legal advice, 看看情况怎样，之后我会来更新的。
