Included with your eligible TLA membership. Access the full document library from your member account.
The Deposit Protection Confirmation Letter is a mandatory document for landlords to confirm compliance with tenancy deposit legislation. It serves as written proof to the tenant that their deposit has been secured in an authorised government-backed scheme, ensuring legal compliance and avoiding financial penalties.
This letter is designed to confirm to tenants that their deposit has been properly protected, as required under the Housing Act 2004. It includes essential information about the scheme, the amount protected, and where the tenant can access the prescribed information. Providing this letter is a legal requirement and protects landlords from costly non-compliance penalties and potential court action.
This document should be issued immediately after the tenant’s deposit is protected in an approved scheme, and no later than 30 days from receiving the deposit. It should accompany the official prescribed information required by law.
