Go to the nearest police station and report. Tribunals only deal with protected tenancies.

i thought rent tribunal only deals with small amounts, under 4k or so. sums larger than that, peleka court.

They will always look for excuses not to. One extreme will keep playing cat and mouse games with you till you give up while the other extreme will make deductions for "damages", repainting etc. mpaka it just about covers the deposit amount. This makes the theft of your deposit official - and final. Best bet, where possible, is not to pay for the final month of your tenancy - let the deposit cover that - assuming you didn't sign an elaborate contract disallowing this and with fines for late/non payment of rent. Rent tribunal is useless. Last time I heard, it was covering tenants paying monthly rent of 2,000/= and below. I don't know if this has been adjusted due to inflation. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Ideally you should go to court and sue the landlord but the police do help.

Ideally you should go to court and sue the landlord but the police do help. You might end up paying more in legal costs while following up your deposit... why throw good money after bad(good) money? Having said that, check if you have given notice notice according to lease agreement before you embark on legal procedure. Otherwise, you can threaten to go with a few doors if he/she doesnt refund...

Did you get back your deposit?
I am in a similar situation. i have given one month's notice and my landlady wants me to pay the month for this month instead of me "sitting " on the deposit.
She says she will refund once the next tenant moves in and pays the deposit but she will have to deduct painting and damages charges.
i know from my neighbors experiences she is a difficult one when it comes to giving back deposits.
So if I don’t pay this months’ rent what’s the worst that can happen?

The funny bit is kaigangio is obiero's landlord and obiero is the landlord of a tenant in kaigangio's premises! Better run and never turn back.
