Landlord Didn't Protect Deposit Within 30 Days?
If any of these situations sound familiar, it could mean that your landlord did not protect your deposit, and you might be owed compensation:
Tenancy Deposit Not Protected?
If your landlord didn’t secure your deposit in a government-approved scheme, you could have a strong claim for compensation.
Deposit Protected Late?
Even if it was eventually protected, if your deposit wasn’t placed in a scheme within 30 days, you may still be eligible for a claim.
Unfair Deductions?
Did your landlord make deductions from your deposit that don’t seem fair? If so, it might be because your deposit wasn’t properly protected.
Deposit Wasn’t Returned?
If your landlord has refused to return your deposit, or only gave part of it back without reason, you could be entitled to compensation.
Stayed Longer Than Agreed?
Your deposit must stay protected for the entire length of your tenancy. If it wasn’t, you could have a claim.
No Deposit Information Given?
If your landlord didn’t provide you with details about the deposit protection scheme, you might have a claim for compensation.
