    If you didnt renew your Fixed Term Lease, then you default back to a month to month periodic tenancy. As you have been in the house more than three years (but less than 4) you need to give 56 days notice.

    If youre only giving 14, the landlord is entitled to deduct the remaining 42 days from your deposit.

    Im guessing the deposit was only equal to 1 months rent, therefore, I would be pretty sure that the landlord would withhold your deposit at minimum.

    Having said that, it really is at his discretion whether he keeps it or not.
