Hi
I signed my tenancy agreement on 14th March 2007 and paid £500 towards my deposit.
My tenancy commenced on 22nd April 2007 which was the day I moved into the property at this time I paid a further £525 as my remainder deposit.
I thought my deposit should be protected as it was taken after 6th April 07. However my landlord says because the first installment was taken in March it does not need to be portected. Is this the case? If so that should only apply for the £500 taken in march and not for the £525 paid end of april as the law was in place by this point??
Please help
