If any of the below apply to you, you may have a claim
Deposit Not Protected
If you know for certain your landlord didn’t protect your deposit, it is very likely you have a claim. All you need is your tenancy agreement to get started.
All 3 deposit protection schemes have a free dispute resolution service when it comes to getting your deposit back. If your deposit was unfairly deducted, it might be due to the lack of deposit protection in place.
Landlord Not Returning Deposit
If your landlord is not returning your deposit, it may be because the deposit was not placed in an approved protection scheme.
Stayed Longer Than Your Initial Agreement
Tenancy deposits must remain protected by one of the 3 approved schemes for the whole duration of your tenancy, so if you stayed in the property beyond your initial agreement, we can check to see if the protection scheme was also extended.
No Deposit Information Was Given
If you did not receive a letter or email from one of the 3 approved deposit protection schemes, it is very possible that your tenancy deposit was not protected correctly.
