This PDF is a working checklist for private assured tenancy deposits in England. Use your approved scheme’s complete prescribed-information material and leaflet. The checklist is not a substitute for them.
Preview
Record the tenants, property, deposit amount, receipt date, protection date, scheme reference, relevant third-party payer and delivery evidence. The checklist prompts you to check scheme contacts, repayment and dispute arrangements, required certification and recipient information.
The deadline
Protect an applicable tenancy deposit and provide prescribed information within 30 days of receiving it. Provide the information to the tenants and any relevant person who paid on their behalf.
Use the deposit prescribed-information guide for current sources and consequences of a missed deadline. Do not apply the England deadline or scheme list to Scotland or Northern Ireland.
Keep the scheme documents and evidence
Save the actual information supplied, protection confirmation and delivery evidence with the checklist. If details or parties change, check the scheme’s requirements; do not assume that every periodic rent cycle calls for new protection.
A signature can record acknowledgement. It does not waive the tenant’s rights or prove that all legal requirements were met.
Store the deposit records in a free account for one property. TenancyVault does not protect deposits or submit scheme information on your behalf.
