Tenancy Deposit Scheme

Tenancy Deposit Scheme provides tenancy deposit protection and dispute-resolution services for the markets covered by its schemes. Its website explains deposit protection, deposit checks and guidance for tenants, landlords and agents.

Published information and service routes cover deposit protection, deposit checks and deposit disputes. Choose the scheme and jurisdiction matching the tenancy. England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different arrangements, and another approved provider may hold the deposit for a particular home.

For related tasks, Tenancy Deposit Scheme can be considered alongside Rightmove for property search, homes to buy or rent and Zoopla for property listings, sale and rental searches. These resources cover adjoining parts of the subject; each publishes its own information and handles its own service, access arrangements or applications.
