You might be able to get compensation if your landlord didn't follow the rules when you paid your deposit.

You could get back 1 to 3 times the amount you paid if your landlord didn't:

protect your deposit at the right time
protect your deposit at all give you the 'prescribed information' - this is information landlords must give tenants, including details about the property and your deposit give you the prescribed information at the right time. You can find out when your deposit needed to be protected and when you should have got the prescribed information. It'll depend on when you paid your deposit to your landlord.

You'll need to take your landlord to court to get compensation. You should win your case if your landlord didn't follow the rules when you paid your deposit.

If your tenancy hasn't ended

It might be best to wait until the end of your tenancy to take your landlord to court.

You can't be evicted with a section 21 notice if your:

deposit isn't protected properly
landlord hasn't given you the prescribed information in the correct way
This means you're better off waiting until you're ready to end your tenancy before you take your landlord to court.

If you take your landlord to court before your tenancy ends, the court might order them to protect your deposit and give you the prescribed information. You might still get compensation.

Once your deposit is protected and the prescribed information given, your landlord could start the eviction process by giving you a section 21 notice. Find out more about getting a section 21 notice.

Get help from your nearest Citizens Advice if your tenancy hasn't ended and you're not sure whether to take your landlord to court.

Before you go to court

You might be able to negotiate with your landlord instead of going to court. The court will expect you to have done this.

Write a letter to your landlord telling them:

they haven't complied with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme rules you could get 1 to 3 times your deposit in compensation if you go to court what they have to do so you don’t take them to court - for example, they have to return your deposit
Tell your landlord you want a reply within 21 days. If they don't reply or won't negotiate with you, you can take them to court to get compensation.

Get evidence

It's best if you get evidence from the 3 tenancy deposit schemes to prove your deposit wasn't protected, or was protected late. The 3 tenancy deposit schemes are Deposit Protection Services, My Deposits and Tenancy Deposit Scheme.

Email them and ask them to confirm your deposit isn't protected, or was protected late. You can find their contact details on their websites.

How It Works?

By law, your landlord is required to protect your deposit within 30 days of them receiving it.

This is to stop landlords from using the deposit as their own income and to ensure that the deposit is protected when your tenancy is over.

They can do this any of the three government protection schemes – The Deposit Protection Service, The Tenancy Deposit Scheme or MyDeposits.

If they fail to protect your tenancy deposit, they are liable to a penalty of between 1-3 times the amount of the deposit paid. This amount will also be in relation to each breach of this law – if you have renewed your tenancy agreement and there is more than one breach, the penalty could be much larger.

Even if your landlord failed to inform where your deposit was registered within 30 days, you may be entitled to compensation.

Here at Get My Deposit Back, our experts can quickly tell you whether you have a claim for compensation against your landlord. We work on a No Win, No Fee basis, and can begin your claim within a few hours.
