Deposit Advice

Check your deposit is safe

If your deposit isn’t protected

You may be able to apply to your local county court to get your deposit back if your deposit was not protected by an approved TDP scheme.

You should write to your landlord and your letting agent (if you have one) before you make a claim. Your landlord or agent may offer to pay your deposit back after they get a letter to avoid legal costs.
