Summary of Tenants Deposit scheme requirements
• Landlords will be required to join a statutory tenancy deposit scheme, if they take deposits for all Assured Shorthold Tenancies.
• This will mean that deposits are safeguarded.
• Tenants will get all or part of their deposit back, if they have kept the property in good condition and are entitled to get their deposit back.
• The scheme offers alternative ways of resolving disputes which aims to be faster and cheaper than taking court action.
