Unacceptable deposit return period?

23-06-2014, 19:17 PM

My daughter rented a room in a household recently for 6 weeks.She left on the 17th May and we have not received our deposit back yet (as of 23/June).The landlord assures me that the deposit will be returned but is 5 weeks going on for 6 an unacceptable wait.By renting out a room in his own accommodation is the landlord legally bound to use a deposit security scheme.

No. Sorry.

When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

Keeping my suspicious mind in gear, you could be right.... if they have asked for a rail and then months later they '' fall'' due to a lack of rail..... could the take legal action ? Maybe, i assume you have landlords insurance with 3rd party liability etc.

There's the question of the civil penalty notices that came in from the Immigration Act 2014, and then there's the question of the criminal offence that came in from the Immigration Act 2016.

For the penalty notice, you're liable if you grants a right to occupy someone who is disqualified...

Wife doesn't have right to reside

by Berlingogirl

My prospective tenant (T) has the right to rent here because he has an appropriate visa and he works in this country. He's been here nearly 4 1/2 years and is going to apply for British citizenship so he seems ok.

However, his wife (W) does not have the right to live here, is applying...

You are renting to the one tenant, and the wife is a mere guest. You only need to vet a tenant, not their guests.I would report her presence if and when she arrives.

Reply to Why isn't private rent counted towards tenant's credit score?

by royw

I'm not sure how useful they are anyway. It'll pick up someone who doesn't pay off their credit but someone who lives on the never never has a better rating than someone who doesn't use credit - and I would choose the latter as a tenant.
