Understanding Tenancy Deposit Protection
Landlords in the UK are legally obligated to place tenants’ deposits into a tenancy deposit protection scheme within 30 days of receiving it. The deposit must be protected in one of the government-approved schemes, and tenants must be provided with written information (also known as prescribed information) regarding where and how their deposit is protected.
If a landlord fails to protect the deposit as part of their legal obligations, tenants can claim under the Housing Act and may be awarded up to three times the amount of their deposit in compensation.
Do You Have a Valid Claim?
You may have a valid claim for tenancy deposit compensation if:
- Your deposit was not protected in a tenancy deposit scheme.
- You were not provided with prescribed information about your deposit protection.
- Your landlord did not return your deposit after your tenancy ended.
- Money was deducted unlawfully from your deposit before your deposit payment was returned.
If any of the above applies to you, contact PR Scully today to see how much compensation you may be entitled to.
How Much Compensation Can You Receive?
The amount of your deposit compensation depends on the landlord’s failure to comply with the law. If your tenancy deposit was not protected, you may receive between one to three times the deposit amount. Our solicitors will assess your case and fight for the maximum compensation on your behalf.
