Deposit Schemes

The Tenancy Deposit Scheme has been established under the Housing Act 2004. It requires landlords to register details of the start and end of all Assured Shorthold Tenancies on which they take a deposit.

The Tenancy Deposit Scheme has been set up to service three principal objectives:

1. Protect deposits through the tenancy

2. Ensure the return of the deposit promptly at the end of the tenancy, where there is no dispute about the deposit.

3. Where there is a dispute about the deposit at the end of the tenancy, ensure it is dealt with fairly and quickly by the Independent Complaints Examiner (ICE)
