Deposit breaches can affect eviction notices
In England, deposit protection failures can affect whether a landlord can rely on a Section 21 notice to regain possession.
If your deposit was not protected correctly before the notice was served, you may have a defence you are not aware of.

Time limits are short
Section 21 and possession proceedings move quickly. Deposit issues need to be identified and raised within tight deadlines.
