Tenancy deposit protection
May 22, 2015
A recent decision of the Court of Appeal has been codified in the Deregulation Act 2015 to clarify that residential landlords must protect tenants’ deposits and provide tenants with prescribed information, regardless of when the tenancy commenced and when the deposit was received.
Tenancy Deposit Protection
The Housing Act 2004 (the Act ), which came into force on 6 April 2007, provides that, where a tenancy deposit is received, a landlord must protect the deposit in a government authorised scheme and serve upon the tenant(s) specific information relating to the deposit.
