Just a quick question, please can someone tell me how long the estate agents have before they have to return the deposit?
As my estate agents told me 90 days but that sounds like a long time!! and i dont believe anything they say as told me too many lies previously
Thank you

Log on to the scheme and claim it back now0 -
10 days after agreement. It is the landlord's responsibility to refund the deposit not the letting agency.
Raise a dispute immediately, get's the ball rolling.
Don't wait 90 days you only have 3 months after leaving the property to raise a dispute with a protection scheme, so I fear they are trying to fob you off and then prevent you from raising a dispute. If you did this you would need to go to court to get your money back.0
