Landlords failing to protect your deposit

Has your landlord failed to protect your deposit?

Has your landlord failed to protect your deposit? – if any of the below apply to you, you may have a claim:

  • Deposit Not Protected? – If you know the deposit was not protected by your landlord, it’s very likely you have a claim
  • Deposit Protected Late? - Even if you deposit was protected, if it was after 30 days of you making the payment, you may have a claim.
  • Unfair Deposit Deductions? - If unfair deductions were made against your deposit, it might be due to the lack of deposit protection in place.
  • Deposit Wasn’t Returned? - If your deposit wasn’t returned, or your landlord refused to return it, you may have a claim.
  • No Deposit Information Given? – If you did not receive confirmation from an approved deposit protection scheme, you may have a claim.
  • Stayed Longer Than Agreed? – Tenancy Deposits must remain protected in an approved scheme for the whole duration of your tenancy.
