Pet deposit query

Well that's the first time you've mentioned that. It's so irritating when relevant information is drip fed through a thread......
Yes, if
1) you renewed the tenancy post 1st June 2019, and
2) the 'pet deposit' was in fact a deposit, not a non-refundable fee
then that amount (you say £100 per pet so I assume more than 1 pet and two or more hundred pounds?) should be treated as part of the deposit as a whole. If the total amount including the pet deposit exceeded the permitted 5 weeks rent, the excess should be returned.
Plus of course both the 'basic' deposit and the 'pet deposit' should have been protected.
Thank you for the reply, as I said I am not fully up on the changes so it was only when it was previously mentioned that I was aware the renewal was classed as the deposit being re taken and that information made a difference. Your information is most helpful and has answered my question.0
