I have given 2 months notice iaw the contract. He is still refusing to give back the deposit....Try surviving on 6 hours a day of sleep. I'm here to do a job not mess around with arrogant Italians. Don't get me wrong this is the first I've met but being treated like a foreigner who will just leave is wrong!. What do you do when the person you are dealing with cannot see black and white!

Thanks for your reply...I know 'quiet enjoyment' exists in the uk but over here? I've spoken to the landlord, he's totally unreasonable and dare I say naive to the law and common sense.Regarding agency fees, it's supposed to be 10% of the first years rental (+iva) I managed to halve it.  Please bear in mind this is Milan and he rents here are very diferent from even Rome let alone the middle of rural countryside. Competition is high and so are rents. Rental here is anything between 500 to 1000+ depending on whether it's an mono or bi/trilocale.

if you don't put down a deposit then you can't rent, it's that simple.
