    That’s the issue. We did decline. And because frank offered to take the lease himself, the estate agent told him they will agree to this.
    And then told him they will hold all 3 x €600 current deposit until he moves out.
    Regardless if we move out now, they will still keep mine and Sarah’s deposit until Frank leaves. 2-3-4 years time!

    I think some of the issue here is that the estate agent is talking about amending the lease. Make it very clear to them that in 8 months time, the lease is ending. If Frank wants to start a new lease with the agent, that's his business. But the current lease itself is coming to an end, and the deposit should be repaid. Frank may have to pony up the €1,800 for a deposit for a new lease, but that's not your problem. He'll probably also be resetting the clock on some of his tenancy rights, but again, that's not your problem.

    You need to call the RTB and get them to sort it out, from the sound of it the EA should not have kept the deposit. In the mean time you are in this mess because you couldn't afford to move with out your deposit. Start to save some money but it in the credit union so that if you ever need to you can borrow too

    How can the RTB sort it out? There is no dispute as of yet. The OP is in a lease. There will only be a potential dispute when the lease has ended and the OP can't get his deposit back.
