Which deposit protection scheme should my landlord use for a rental property in Manchester?

A Sorted Team Answered by

There is no separate Manchester deposit protection scheme: in England, landlords must protect an assured shorthold tenancy deposit in a government-approved scheme. The main providers are the Deposit Protection Service (DPS), MyDeposits and the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), and the landlord must usually protect the deposit and provide the required information within 30 days. Check your paperwork or contact each scheme to confirm where your deposit is held. If it was not protected correctly, you can seek advice from a housing solicitor or Citizens Advice; any court remedy depends on the circumstances.
