Rent Deposit Claims
Our solicitors can help you bring a claim against your landlord for1 to 3 times the amount of your tenancy deposit if your landlord:
- doesn’t protect your tenancy deposit in a tenancy deposit protection scheme
- doesn’t give you certain information about the scheme being used
- takes too long to protect your deposit, or give you prescribed information
Your landlord must put your deposit in a government-backed tenancy deposit scheme (TDP) if you rent your home on an assured shorthold tenancy that started after 6 April 2007. In England and Wales your deposit can be registered with:
The schemes are designed to make sure you get your deposit back if you:
- Meet the terms of your tenancy agreement
- Don’t damage the property
- Pay your rent and bills
