"You need to talk to the receiver "
Agreed
Unfortunately the deposits paid are probably a tiny debt in comparison to what the landlord owes and will most likely not be recovered.
Some banks honour the remaining terms of the lease providing you hold the lease, have proof of rental payments to date etc; this was a popular course two or three years ago when property prices were low but given the house price rise it's unlikely now they will. |

You probably won't get the deposit - just tell the bank you will be staying an extra month to get the value of the deposit back -
Save that months rent for your next deposit - feck it - stay 2 months !! |

Speak to the receiver. In the property make a list and take pictures of your items and landlords. Probably end up not paying last 2 months rent. Ie. Deposit. And 1 months rent |

In law, the deposit remains your money, unless the landlord has made a specific claim on it.
If there’s no reason why the reciever shouldn’t return it to you without his sanction after giving him due notice that it intends to do so.
If / when the landlord is / was made bankrupt, the deposit does not form part of the landlord’s assets and can not be included within any potential bankruptcy.
In short you need to pursue the reciever.
In reality, you are in limbo right now, the landlord does not have a pot to piss in, your deposit is in his pocket, the bank is moving in to recoup as much as it can from the landlord.
Unfortunately, you may be just a pawn caught in the crossfire. Pursuing this via due process may cost more than the deposit.
If it was me, i'd be looking at the television, washing machine, oven, fridge, bed, and cutlery.  |

I appreciate that you're in the ROI, and I don't know all the ins-and-outs. But I have heard of some cases where this happened and the various tenants made a group representation to the bank to stay on. I know that "up here" the banks have too many properties to manage - they may be glad of a sitting tenant for at least a few months rather than pay the fees of securing yet more property. Councils are closing in on banks who leave properties unattended. They just don't need the extra hassle.
But as I say: the examples I know of are far and few between and I'm in a different legal/economic jurisdiction. It might just give you extra time though, if you "club together". Good luck. |

I rented a house from a couple before who turned out to be a nightmare to deal with
I told them I wasn't leaving until I got my deposit back but they found every excuse in the book to try not pay it.
Table is marked fridge is icing up couch is stained
All bullshit
I had an open sale in the house and sold washing machine fridge couch and table and got my money back plus a few quid for my troubles.
Thought them a lesson |
