Deposit Protection Breach Claims
When landlords fail to protect your deposit in government-approved schemes or provide prescribed information, you can claim 1-3× your deposit value as compensation. Our expert service handles the entire legal process.
Landlords are legally required to protect deposits within 30 days and provide prescribed information within the same period. Failure results in automatic financial penalties that we can claim on your behalf through court proceedings.
