Rent Deposit

We are currently living in our first rented house, that took as a while to save for the deposit. We are now thinking of moving to another rented house but wondering what goes on with our current deposit?
Is getting your deposit back before you move house possible? as obviously we would need another deposit for the new house.
Saving for a deposit while both unemployed is not really possible at the moment.

Not usually, you normally have to move out and then get the deposit back provided everything is left as it should be and there are no deductions.0

Unlikely, but not impossible.
A lot will depend on the state the property is likely to be in when you vacate it, also your relationship with the LL.I am a LandLord,(under review) so there!:p0 -
How long would it usually take to receive your deposit back?0

That really depends on how efficient your landlord/letting agent is. We got a deposit back 3 weeks after we last moved. Our neighbour moved out in December and is still waiting for hers to be returned.0

You should contact the DPS people as soon as you move out.
Have a look on the website of the company who have your deposit?
MyDeposits, The Deposit Protection service, The Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) etc0
