Tenancy deposits in 20 minutes! Nick HankeyDeputyChief Executive
Reminder: What you must do Comply with our ‘initial requirements’ by registering the deposit Serve Prescribed Information and a scheme leaflet (including at renewal)
The penalties • Return the deposit • Fine of between 1 & 3 times the deposit • Be unable to use a Section 21 notice
Superstrike explained It was determined that it should have been protected
In the Superstrike scenario? Protect the deposit now If you haven’t served PI for a historic renewed tenancy, you have three options A fine may be unavoidable if the tenant takes matters to court (see detailed guidance on the TDS blog)
Myth busting… “ I heard I need to ‘reprotect’ the deposit for each new fixed term and end protection for the old deposit because of Superstrike ”
