Deposit
Tenancy Deposit Law was introduced on 6th April 2007 and provides protection for tenants by preventing Landlords and Letting Agents from unfairly withholding a deposit. The scheme protects all Assured Shorthold Tenancies in England and Wales. Failure to protect your Tenant’s deposit will result in you having to pay your tenant three times the amount of the deposit in compensation. If you wish to enter your Tenant’s deposit in our scheme and for us to retain the money in our Client Account a fee will be charged.
Please note that it is recommended that a full inventory, supported by photographs is also in place at the beginning of a tenancy. If required Malcolm Parker Property Services will be happy to arrange this.
