After several e-mails back and forth the saga is drawing out to a close. The Twat has extracted his pound of flesh by making the new person moving into the flat withold part of the agency fee from my part of the deposit. I offered to split it three ways so it would be fairer but the Twat is insistent that I pay the extra £19 because he is classy like that.
The new guy owes me a sum of over a thousand pounds. Chump change for most people, but an amount that would make a real difference to someone in my situation. He's sent me an e-mail saying he's paid in £500 of what he owes me and will pay me the rest once his deposit from his old flat clears. It's lovely to know that I can help him out in this small way. I should add "housing deposit assistance" to my list of good qualities.
To be fair, it is the estate agents' fault for not ensuring my deposit was fully refunded when the new person moved in. You'd think they'd want to be on safe ground with someone new moving in but hey, expecting estate agents to have intelligence is like expecting an amoeba to recite the times tables. However, it does seem like the Twat has found someone equally inconsiderate to move in with him. Awesome.
