Simon Dewsberry Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hi All At present most AST 's state 28 days for return of Deposit to tenant less x's Anyone know if this is to change - or is it 28 days to notify scheme now ? as the schemes have 10 days from notification to pay up do we lose this from our 28 day window down to 18 ? or will tenant have to wait upto 38 days ? Or have have they not thought about this and left it open ended !!!!!!!!!?????????? Have surfed about a bit but cant find anything on this point except this: "What happens if a landlord or tenant cannot be contacted, or is un-cooperative? If one party cannot contact the other, they can submit a 'single claim'. However, in the case of the tenant being uncontactable, the landlord must include evidence why the claim is not a joint one. If one party refuses to co-operate, either in agreeing the release of the deposit or agreeing to resolve any dispute, a single claim can also be made." How long will they wait for a Landlord to make a claim before "paying out" to tenant on single claim"? Clearly lots more questions to come ! 6 days let the chaos commence !
