How long does my landlord have to return the deposit

My tenancies have always involved using the previous checkout report as the checkin for the next / my tenancy. Maybe trying to save cost (I seem to recall being charged for checkins, but not checkouts as a result).Peter

Thanks, I have read the stickie, I have already requested the deposit from DPS but they are waiting for the landlord. They will only do anything else if I use the Single Claim Process which would require me to find a Solicitor, a Commissioner for Oaths or a Magistrate. I'll call DPS when they open on Monday and see what they suggest.
As he doesn't have a new tenant I guess he hasn't done a check-in one either. As I say, if he did have a new tenant then all of a sudden I'm sure he'd get the report the same day.1 -
The DPS will suggest the single claim process since that is their process when the L fails to respond within the required timescale. It is a fixed fee of £5 to get the statutory declaration signed so it is not expensive.porkedpie said:Thanks, I have read the stickie, I have already requested the deposit from DPS but they are waiting for the landlord.

Who will sign the form for a fixed fee of £5?. Some friends of mine have just gone through the process and after shopping around the cheapest they could get the Statutory Declaration signed for was £25anselld said:

Sorry, my mistake, please ignore the above post, there was another issue with the signing.0

In theory I am supposed to be able to get the form online[1] but the system isn't working so I'll have to call them up either way.
