The landlord wrote down some stuff. I asked afterwards, he mentioned one thing, we discussed another thing and he seemed to agree with me, and that was it. Talking to some other people in the last year about this, it seems there are loads of people with stories like this in the UK. I've had friends where the rental agents filled false complains about "marijuana smell" after a small disagreement. Really petty stuff. The dispute service of the deposit protection services are completely useless as well. They took over 4 months to reply, didn't address half the stuff I had sent in, had no way to see what the landlord sent in, and made some spectacularly wrong decisions. The entire thing felt like it was rushed by an intern. I think the problem is that as a landlord/rental agent you have a lot of power, especially in a high-demand market (I lived in Bristol). My apartment was listed as "let agreed" just 4 days after I left for £75/month more. Power corrupts.
