Tenancy Deposit Advice

Your need...

If you were not aware of the statutory Tenancy Deposit Scheme, you may be facing a claim for punitive damages or having difficulties in recovering possession. The Housing Act 2004 introduced a scheme for the protection of tenancy deposits for Assured Short-hold Tenancies, assisting in the resolution of disputes and penalising landlords for non-compliance. If a landlord defaults on the legal requirements, statutory compensation of up to three times the amount of the deposit is payable – and it can prevent recovery of possession of the property.
