Tenancy Deposit Claims For Tenants

Our Story

In 2011, husband & wife and now Tenant Angels directors, Daniel & Emma moved into their first flat together. It was a small one bed property which sadly developed terrible mould problems in the bathroom and the landlord refused to take any remedial action. Dan & Emma stayed in the property for six months, before deciding to move on, at which time, the landlord decided to keep £280 of their deposit as an ‘admin fee’ for the return of the deposit (sounds fishy right!?).

On to house number 2. Dan & Emma lived here for a few years, the property was OK, a few issues but nothing major and the letting agency appeared to be reasonable. At the end of the tenancy, Dan & Emma pack up, had the house cleaned and they wait… and wait… and wait. Around 3 months go by and suddenly the agency hit them with a bill for their deposit, claiming for marks on walls, weeds in the garden, and even suggesting the carpets need replacing, despite Dan & Emma replacing the carpets six months before they moved out. The agency refused to give Dan & Emma their £700 deposit back.

The next adventure had taken Dan & Emma across the Country where they would encounter their worst landlord so far!

The property was a beautiful 4 bedroom house which despite its stunning exterior, turned out to be riddled with mould, damp and worse still, the landlord who lived right next door, would let themselves into the property at any given time and were quick to blame Dan & Emma for the problems within the property, despite having just moved in! This particular adventure didn’t last long and yes, you guessed it, the landlords unfairly kept the deposit, again!

After 3 terrible experiences in the rental market, enough was enough and they decided to look for help. After days of searching online, they soon found that very little help existed for tenants that were unfairly treated by rogue landlords. Anyone they did find that might be able to help, wanted to charge them large sums of money upfront just for some advice and a short consultation, which isn’t helpful for a couple who had already been set back financially when landlords decided to keep their deposit.

Having got past the initial frustration at the lack of help available for tenants, they set out speaking with clients, close friends and people in the local community about their experience. Dan & Emma ran a marketing consultancy at the time and had just taken on a new client, who was a solicitor that had just started out in Birkenhead. In 2016, after several long conversations, research, and hours of brushing up on the laws for England & Wales, Tenant Angels was born in their spare room as a result of one too many landlords trying to steal their money and generally making their lives miserable.

Four years on and after lots of ups and downs, they have learned everything they possibly can about tenants rights and they’ve partnered with almost a dozen wonderful law firms – which means Tenant Angels have been able to help thousands of tenants all over the Country and guess what… they don’t lose any more sleep about rogue landlords and nor do the tenants they help.

Is My Deposit Protected?

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.

Deposit Protected Late

If your landlord didn’t protect your deposit within 30 days, you may have a tenancy deposit compensation claim.

Unfair Deductions

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.

  From beginning to end, Dan from Tenants Angels was so supportive, kind and supportive with the process and my worries about it. He explained everything so well and were very patient with me while I took my time to understand everything. Would recommend them to anyone dealing with tenant-landlord issues!!

  I cannot recommend this company enough. I used them to resolve a dispute regarding my security deposit with my previous landlord and they were fast, clear, thorough, and went above and beyond what I expected and requested of them. They also held my case on file in case I wished to pursue further.

  I couldn't reccomend tenants angels more! They provided the clarity and help we needed during a stressful time. They checked our deposit claim and seamlessly put us in contact with the solicitor who eventually won our case. The process was smooth from start to finish and communication was always excellent. I can’t thank them enough for all the help!
