It may be useful to include in this a rent deposit deed setting out how the landlord will secure the deposit.</p><p>Under the tenancy deposit protection legislation introduced in the Housing Act 2004, all landlords letting on residential assured shorthold tenancies are required to protect their tenants' deposits in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of taking the deposit. We do not currently have any plans to require the use of a tenancy deposit scheme for commercial tenancies.</p><p>The letting agent or property manager should arbitrate any disputes between the landlord or tenant in the first instance. Since 1 October 2014, it has been a legal requirement for lettings agents and property managers in England to join one of two government-approved redress schemes (the Property Ombudsman or the Property Redress Scheme) and a complaint can be made to the relevant redress scheme should the letting agent or property manager be unable to arbitrate the dispute.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 05/11/2018 17:31:17 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
