new tenant deposit rules


salavan

Recommended Posts

hi i just heard about even more regulations being imposed on landlords regarding tenant deposits,

i just wondered if anyone knows about existing deposits, my tenant paid a deposit over 8 years ago when he first moved in he still remains in the property and i still hold the unprotected deposit

does anyone know if i am affected by this,?

do i now have to protect the 8 year old deposit?

thanks .

I too have a tenant of nearly 8 years with an unprotected deposit and as far as I am aware the new ruling does not alter these circumstances and if it does he can have his deposit back as for once I have a 1st class tenant who is unlikely to stuff me.

I also have a few tenants that have been with me between 6 - 10 years.

After that period of time a landlord gets to know wether they are oK or not.

After that length of time my tenants get a few perks such as.....

* I have usually already returned half the deposit to the tenants in exchange for a rent rise.

* They get free use of my Spanish holiday homes.

There is no requirement to protect deposits taken prior to 2007.

How about well behaved forum members who are very clean and won't wet the bed RL :D
