What the law allows
Where a landlord fails to comply with deposit protection rules, the county court can order compensation of one to three times the deposit amount.
A 1,000 pound deposit could mean 1,000 to 3,000 pounds in compensation, separate from any dispute about deposit deductions or repayment.
RentersProtect checks your tenancy against the deposit protection rules at no cost.
Not every breach pays the same
The court decides the multiplier based on how serious the breach was, whether it was corrected and whether it happened more than once.
Working out what your claim is worth requires understanding the specific facts of your tenancy, not just the deposit amount.
