To increase your chances of getting your full student letting deposit back in the UK, you should make sure that you understand the terms of your tenancy, and most importantly, keep the accommodation clean and tidy during the year.
Keep the property well-maintained
Keep the accommodation clean throughout the tenancy to prevent any last-minute stress at the end. Take care to avoid any unnecessary damage to the property and its contents, as deductions for damages can reduce your deposit.
Report any issues early to the landlord
Take photos and videos of any damage or wear and tear at the beginning of the tenancy. Report these to your landlord in writing to avoid being held responsible later. Always inform your landlord of any issues that arise. This will avoid any blame for property problems that worsen over time.

Carry out a deep clean of the property
Before leaving, thoroughly clean the property, including the carpets, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, and any communal areas. If the property was professionally cleaned before you moved in, consider hiring a professional cleaner to ensure it’s returned to the same condition. Keep your receipt as proof of cleaning.
Fix anything you’ve broken
Replace missing or broken items that are your responsibility, like light bulbs or door handles, and repair any minor damage, such as filling small holes left by picture hooks. Return any furniture or items to their original position if they were moved. If your landlord makes deductions you disagree with, you can challenge them.
