Deposit I think he will try to keep because he is Essex boy delboy type all nice to seal a deal.

As others have said, he shouldn't be able to keep the deposit because he shouldn't have it - it must legally be in a deposit scheme and if he has reason to think he can retain some of it (things missing from the inventory, damage or whatever) he needs to sort it out with them. It's nothing to do with where he's from, it's the law.

I can't really see how your being a sex worker has any bearing on this tbh, and I'd recommend you contact the CAB and/or Shelter and ask them. You need credible advice from people who know what they're talking about and posting here won't help with that.

Thanks Amy. I will see him in  person tomorrow and see if he trys to give me a load of BS. I'll tell him I want at the least my 2 weeks rent back in my account before I hand keys over.

Remember when you have to conversation with him that it's YOU that's doing the big favour for him by moving out early. So he should be returning to you the 2 weeks rent with no argument! Definitely check it's in your account a day or so before you hand over the keys, as they'll be nothing you can do about it after you've moved.

As Amy said the deposit should be being held by the tenancydepositscheme(dot)com, if you head over to that website you can enter some details about your tenancy to check it's there

Thanks for advice bella, Just checked and called up deposit company and its registered. Advice was to take pics of everything in flat incase landlord tries to say I damaged anything.

But I will definitely expect my two weeks rent back before I hand keys over Friday. So Thursday. If he is decent and all is fair I would go back and rent. Have to see I think these hard times can being out peoples bad sides when it comes to money.

My point is that if I see any clients, I might aswell kiss and it's not going to make a difference if I catch it or not because you are having sex with them anyway.

I've made the decision to see a limited number of people under specific conditions to reduce the risk and we are in a free and open democracy last time I checked.

I know some of you will say I'm mad...but it's my life and my body.

The worst thing is that some of you will criticise in public yet in private will absolutely be thinking about trying to work on a limited basis.

Louise I'm doing the same as you.  Seeing a select few under set conditions.

I also realize many of you will disagree with us, but I can't live on thin air.  The swarm grant is fantastic, I'm really grateful, but at the same time it's a one off payment of £200.  Lockdown is still for another 2 and a half weeks at least. 

I had to take a few long breaks recently which has meant my savings have been run right down, so unfortunately I don't have a lot of choice but to take my chances.  I'm comfortable with it, ish.
 

Seems everyday I am reading on Twitter about girls in their 20s and 30s dying in this country to covid-19 and not just nurses.

Remember that the number of news articles has no bearing on how common something actually is.

My thinking is similar to yours burlesque. In my mind I'm on holiday until end of July but I think the impact of lockdown will last much longer and will change our line of work. I may have the option of renting my work flat again come July but I'm very unsure if I will make the rent and a profit with escorting this year.I hope I'm wrong in thinking getting work will be harder, Competitive if new girls join due to job losses especially retail and hospitality. Definitely older clients will be very weary for punting this year some may of lost the taste for the habit. But I think many guys are gagging to get out a punt and already have a shopping list of girls they want to see after lockdown. I fear the quality of clients may be lower. I will definitely need to come down a bit on my rates. And a big lesson from this is that we should always save a bit of money , I certainly will not be treating myself to anything this year.

I think a vaccine will not be available this year and we will have to adapt and except that this virus will run its course and lives will be lost and the papers will continue to print stories which could further keep punters over 50 and that's the age I mostly attract and can pay my rates and enjoy longer bookings. I have one good regular I hope I can see after lockdown.

I've started seeing clients again this week.

I've kept to strict measures such has showers with lost of soap for my clients before any contact.

It's not been super busy but it's been busier then I thought. I am having to turn a few away.
