The landlord (in fact, many landlords) did not honour the T&Cs of the tenancy. So why should the tenant honour it?

I agree with sonypshomer. Unless a tenant have good rapport with the landlord (and even then, sometimes the tenant gets cheated), it's best to used the security deposit to offset the last 1-2 months of rental.

There's no reward in being a nice tenant who pays the rental and utility bills on time - nice tenants get shortchanged by greedy landlords.
