Tenancy Deposit Scheme

If you signed an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement after 6th April 2007 your landlord should pay the deposit into one of three authorised schemes within 14 days of receiving it. This scheme applies to tenants of private landlords and is designed to protect your deposit. Your landlord should inform you about where your deposit is being protected. The three schemes are as follows:

NUS and Unipol have produced an Enforcement Pack to enable students to understand the scheme and recover their deposits in the event of a dispute.
