Tenancy Deposit Protection: new legislation from 6 April 2007

As from 6 April 2007, landlords and letting agents taking deposits from tenants at the commencement of any new Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement are required to join a Tenancy Deposit Scheme in order to safeguard any deposits received. Agents and landlords must ensure the deposit is protected under one of the government-authorised tenancy deposit protection schemes.

In our efforts to try to eliminate the less desirable practices to be found amongst Property Letting and Management Agencies, we are investigating further ways in which to assist both Landlords and Tenants achieve the highest quality, best value for money services, without the dangerous – and costly - small print!

Repeat charges to Landlords:- In the past couple of years we have been staggered to find that some agents take repeat fees from Landlords for whom they have successfully fulfilled their Tenant Finding brief. Although these agents are not engaged in any ongoing Management activities for the Landlord, they include in their Agreement with the Landlord, clauses eliciting further payments in the event that their Tenant extends or renews the Tenancy Agreement in the Property. We do not subscribe to this practice and believe that Landlords should be aware of the need to thoroughly check their Agreements’ small print VERY CAREFULLY!

Tenant Insurance:- Are you renting a property but feel concerned about your liability for the Landlord’s possessions, such as carpets, curtains etc.? Or is the fully furnished status of the property giving you even bigger headaches? In the long term, do you dread losing a large portion of your deposit to costly dilapidation charges when you move on? There are many varied policies geared especially to people just like you and we can provide information on these at your request. Please email us at enquiries@adinterim.co.uk
