<p>The Department does not hold the information requested, as the terms on whether,
and how much, deposit will be paid by the tenants of a commercial property is agreed
by the landlord and tenant on an individual basis and this information is not reported
centrally.</p><p>This information should be included within the commercial lease agreement
agreed by both the landlord and the tenant. It is considered to be best practice to
include a rent deposit deed, which sets out how a landlord secures a commercial tenant's
deposit.</p><p>We do not currently have any plans to require the use of a tenancy
deposit scheme for commercial tenancies.</p>
