Hello this is my first time to go on any Forums so I may get things a bit wrong......

My question is do I have to put my tenants deposit into the TDS if they are only going to stay for 3 months?
I can't seem to be able to find this answer anywhere.
Thank you

No, you don't have to: As long as you are happy for them to be able to sue you for up to 3xdeposit & that any s21 would be invalid unless you returned it first....

What makes you so confident they will go in 3 months time?? I'd not bank on tenants leaving at end of fixed term...

I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...

If they're renting in England or Wales on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement, yes you do.

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).

Reply to Me, As Guarantor

Most decent properties in uni cities are rented prior to Christmas for the following year. Students do view usually because many are in Halls for the first year then move out the second (so they are at uni when looking for a house for the following year). However I am sure that some lets are being agreed...

On this particular topic I can only report what I know.
Personally I believe the intent is good but it’s practicalities particularly with what is being required of the general public can become somewhat confused.

Temporary Relaxation of Rules on Right Rent

Right to rent rules have been relaxed during the coronavirus outbreak so that landlords and tenants do not have to meet in person to carry out the checks.
Under the temporary rules, tenants can scan and send copies of their identification or residency paperwork to their landlords which can then...

Clearly with all these people being repatriated @ £75m & so many homeless, accommodation needs to be found - fast! I expect the many councils "told" to re-house the homeless have explained reality to Bozo.

This sounds like poor communication between Government departments when MHCLG are advising that no-one should be moving home during the lockdown!

My understanding is that courts have accepted s21 notices as valid if the landlord can evidence three documented refusals to allow access to the gas engineer....
