it's been three weeks now, and no deposit. The man is not answering his mobile phone. i feel... worried. my neck hurts from tension from worrying. I can't even go to the shop that used to be below the flat, because it's kind of changed hands - well it's still owned by the same landlord, but he's rented it out to some other people who don't have anything to do with the flats. There were two men inside the shop which seems to have been turned into an office, and they seemed... nice. one of them phoned the landlord for me - but couldn't get through, and then he kind of tried to reassure me by saying that the guy who wasn't answering my phone calls is a nice guy, and that they were still waiting for some stock from him as well, and that he has the flu. and that kind of made me feel better for about 5 minutes. But now I'm back to worrying again. let this be a lesson to you all, always get a contract when you rent, so if you want to drag the landlord into court, you can. or better yet, if you have the balls, don't pay the last month's rent, which is what I should have done, but alas, I didn't. have the balls, that is.
