What information may help when reviewing a deposit-protection issue

A focused guide to the tenancy, payment, scheme and correspondence records that may help a fuller review.

The useful information will depend on the individual tenancy and the question being reviewed. A practical starting set is the material that connects the tenancy, payment, protection route and communication.

Four useful record groups

  • Tenancy agreement and tenancy dates
  • Deposit payment or bank record
  • Protection certificate, scheme information or related correspondence
  • Messages and emails with the landlord or letting agent

Keep uncertainty visible

If a document is partial, undated or difficult to interpret, keep it and note what is uncertain. Clear limits are more useful than filling gaps with assumptions.
