Deposit Protection Rules Explained

What deposit protection means

Deposit protection is designed to hold tenancy deposits fairly and support dispute resolution at the end of the tenancy.

What landlords should record

Keep the scheme details, prescribed information, tenancy agreement, check-in inventory and dated communication with the tenant.

Why review dates matter

Rules can change, and legal articles should be reviewed regularly against government or regulator sources.
