Tenancy Deposit Claims
If this very specific process is not complied with by the Landlord, then the Tenant has a claim against the Landlord by way of a statutory penalty. The Tenant is able to make the claim even if they have moved out of the property and had their original deposit returned to them.
How is a Tenancy Deposit claim valued?
The legislation provides that if a Landlord fails to correctly deal with a deposit in the prescribed manner, a Court must award the Tenant an amount not less than one times the amount of the deposit and not more than three times the amount of the deposit for each separate and distinct breach of the legislation.
The Tenant is also entitled to request the return of the deposit amount itself if this has not already been returned.
Johnson and Boon Tenancy Deposit Claims Solicitor
Example:
- If a deposit = £750.00
- Claim value = Between £1,500.00 and £3,000.00
This is based on a single breach of the legislation. In cases where there has been multiple tenancy agreements or periods when the property has been occupied under the terms of a statutory periodic tenancy, the value of the claim would greatly increase.
