FAQ

How long do I have to protect a tenancy deposit? You must protect the deposit in an authorised scheme (TDS, DPS or MyDeposits) and serve the prescribed information within 30 calendar days of receiving it. See gov.uk/tenancy-deposit-protection.

What happens if I miss the 30-day deadline? The court can order you to repay the deposit and pay the tenant between one and three times the deposit amount. You also lose the right to serve a Section 21 notice until the deposit is returned.
