Grampa Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 As long as it was protected within the correct timescales 7 years ago but no PI given all you need to do is give the tenant the prescribed info and deposit certificate. (though it doesn't stop the tenant potentially making a claim against you) You also need to make sure the tenant has: EPC Gas Cert Electrical Cert Latest How to rent guide In a situation like this I would post them all out to the tenant with an short letter stating "Please find enclosed the updated/replacement information relating to your tenancy for your records" Note: If you hadn't protected the deposit as well you would have to return the deposit as Richlist mentions.
