💰 Deposit Protection – Keeping Your Money Safe

If you rent your home and paid a deposit, your landlord must keep it safe using a special scheme.

🏠 Who Does This Apply To?

This applies if:

📅 You paid your deposit on or after 6 April 2007
📅 Or your tenancy was renewed after that date

🛡️ What Is a Deposit Protection Scheme?

It’s a Government-approved way to protect your deposit.
Your landlord must:

✅ Use one of the official schemes
📄 Give you details about the scheme
💸 Tell you how to get your deposit back when you move out
