Unreasonable Managing Agent and Landlord

I would suggest seriously reconsidering rental of a property, if administered by their Managing Agents. On cancelling our lease outside of the fixed term; and in accordance with our lease, our Landlord in conjunction with our Managing Agent attempted to ********ly penalize us with a two-month cancellation penalty. Legally, this no longer app**** to us, as the fixed-term period had since lapsed. In outlining that our deposit was legally and rightfully due back to us, we received personal insults of an appalling nature from both our Landlord and Managing Agent. Yet, we were simply following the prerequisite legal requirements as outlined by the Consumer Protection Act and Rental Housing Act and holding them both accountable. We eventually sought legal advice, which is when we finally received confirmation that our deposit would be returned. However, the Managing Agent and Landlord then unreasonably billed 'damages' against our deposit. At this stage, exhausted from the back and forth, we finally relented, in order to avoid would would certainly become a lengthy and ugly legal battle. We stand by the fact that we left the property in an impeccable condition, far better than that in which we found it. Appears that pointing out due legal process, did not sit well with either our Managing Agent nor Landlord.
