    I believe the correct date is the 6th of April for the neew scheme.

    You've posted on another thread that certificates are compulsory, where did you get this information from?

    My letting agent said that it has now become compulsory this month. However, I can't find anything myself, so will challenge them on Monday to show me evidence of this and let you know

    If the LL/LA doesn't put the money into a scheme they will have to pay 3 x the deposit to the tenant. In addition the LL cannot serve the tenant a S21 eviction notice until the money is deposited in a scheme.
    Interesting. :eek:

    Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme
    http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TenancyDeposit/index.htm

    "From 6 April 2007, all deposits taken by landlords and letting agents must be protected by a government-authorised tenancy deposit protection scheme"

    The Deposit Protection Service
    http://www.depositprotection.com/Unrestricted/Default.aspx?bhjs=1&fla=1

    The Deposit Protection Service (The DPS) provides the only free scheme and is open to all landlords and letting agents.
