Landlords: Failed to protect your tenant's deposit?
Landlords: have you received a letter of claim from a former tenant regarding a lack of protection of their deposit?
If you did not protect their deposit, it is likely that you are in breach of the Housing Act 2004, and your tenant could be entitled to up to three times the deposit amount by way of compensation.
Setfords can assist in reviewing, advising, and responding on this matter in an effort to limit the compensation you may have to pay.
