I am using the site https://www.depositprotection.com to lodge my tenant deposits. I have lodged a deposit today.

Does anyone know what the tenant receives on me lodging the deposit? If anything....do they get confirmation by email/text?

Thanks

I think I always received an email from the deposit scheme but there are other things that as a landlord you will need to provide the tenant with.

See Deposits for more information (assuming you're in England or Wales).

You have a legal duty to send the tenant the 'Prescribed Information '. You must do this within 30 days of receipt of the deposit.

There are serious consequences if you don't, or if you are late.

It is not enough to just register the deposit and rely on the scheme telling the tenant.
