Student Tenancy Deposit Claims Guide | Your Rights Explained

Unsure If Your Student Tenancy Deposit Was Protected?

Many students renting in England are unaware that landlords are legally required to protect tenancy deposits in a government-approved scheme and provide prescribed information within strict time limits. Unfortunately, failures to comply with these rules are common in student lets.

We have recently published a detailed FAQ guide answering the most common questions we receive about student tenancy deposit non-protection claims, including:

• Whether you can still make a claim after moving out
• What happens if your deposit has already been returned
• How much compensation you may be entitled to
• Time limits for bringing a claim
• How joint student tenancies are treated
• Whether you need a solicitor to pursue a claim

If you are a student or former student tenant and are unsure whether your deposit was protected correctly, this guide explains your rights clearly and outlines the steps you can take next.
