Documents

Once the homeless team has paid a tenancy deposit to a private landlord to secure an assured shorthold tenancy, the landlord must protect the deposit, and serve a notice on the tenant and the council which contains prescribed information.

Use this letter where:

• The 30-day period for compliance is due to expire shortly.
• It appears the landlord has not yet protected the deposit or served the prescribed information notice.

The letter:

• Reminds the landlord of their obligations, and
• Warns of the consequences of non-compliance.
