I have agreed distribution of deposit with tenant and submitted same to Deposit Scheme. To date, tenant has not responded to Deposit Scheme to formally agree. What is my next step?

Speak to tenant.Allow tenants to protect their own deposits. I want free money when they do it wrong -
I have been messaging tenant but she just replies that she is overwhelmed with move, etc and doesn't respond to dps. I just don't know what next step is if she continues not to bother to act. We have agreed on amount to come to me (landlord) and what amount will be refund to her. (Tenant) by message. She no longer lives locally so I can't visit her in person to discuss.Comment

Just leave it, its not up to you to chase the tenant. You have agreed a deduction which as been applied the rest of the deposit has been returned so its up to the tenant now, why are you chasing the T?
Was this a custodial or insured deposit protection?Any advice I give is my opinion and experience, I am as you also learning.Comment

Ok so the TDS has time limits right? Assuming this is a custodial protection the LL has applied to the TDS for a portion of the deposit to be paid to them. I would have thought the TDS will write to each party notifying them of this and set time limits to respond and if any party fails to respond the TDS distributes the deposit??Any advice I give is my opinion and experience, I am as you also learning.Comment

Custodial with DPS. We agreed beforehand and I contacted DPS but tenant has not contacted them. That is why I am chasing her. No funds will be distributed until she agrees.Comment

Are we missing the point here, by passing the legally binding tenancy agreement which stipulates how and where notices, issues etc are meant to be sent to and addressed to, should be enough (otherwise what is the point of it all). If the LL instructs an agent to deal with a T, then that's who the T...19-05-2022, 11:43 AM

I’m a tenant facing a sharp rent increase and in need of advice.
I have a good landlord who agreed to a rent reduction last year because of ongoing maintenance issues and lower market values. However, I can only communicate with them through an agency.
Approaching the end...18-05-2022, 22:10 PM -
My tenants get a nice letter with my name and contact details on it, but I want them to talk to my agent, not me.
I try and make it clear that the details are really only if they have a problem with the agent and need to talk to me....19-05-2022, 11:32 AM -
If you break it down further, it's better for the landlord.
The median time from claim to possession order (which is 60 odd percent of the time, the result) is under 11 weeks (say just under three months), so from that point, possession is pretty much inevitable.
So it's frustrating, but...19-05-2022, 11:29 AM -
The latest government figures for possession claims have been published, which cover January through March 2022.
That's post Covid restrictions and would probably include most of the last of the Covid backlog.
And there's no sign of the massive wave of evictions and resulting mass...19-05-2022, 10:46 AM -
Stat's are one thing, reality and being in the middle of trying to get your property back is another, just feel sorry for those LL's who are trying to get back possession even after 27 weeks (7 months) it's a long time!!!19-05-2022, 11:24 AM

Can't agree more: Such information (landlord, address..) should be available for free, 24/7, not requiring £3 spend.

As in Scotland from the landlord register (I've had prospective tenants telling me they'd checked me out before viewing .. fair enough.)
But in England...19-05-2022, 11:20 AM -

If the property is now in good condition then you might suggest there should have been a £100 pcm rent rise for the first year - when you got a reduction - and a further £100 pcm this year, so £1700. If market rate is around £1800 then I would think this reasonable.19-05-2022, 10:58 AM

Reply to Section 21 During Contract PeriodThey can serve notice on you during your contract, but can't act upon the S21 notice until the expiry of your contract. They can serve you with a S8 notice during your fixed term contract.
What is the reason why they want you out? If I were you, I would leave before costs and CCJ's come...19-05-2022, 10:36 AM
