Why TDS?
Don't just take our word for it
As I previously had a letting agent for my property I was really unsure about how to take over management, especially around the deposit. Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) made this a stress free experience for me. Their customer service is excellent, providing friendly and timely advice. No question is too small and it feels like a very personal experience. Thank you TDS!
I’ve used the TDS for all my tenancies since protecting deposits with an independent organisation became law. After researching the schemes available, I decided to use the TDS for all my tenancies and have been very happy with the service and professionalism.
As well as the peace of mind of having such a professional organisation to act as an intermediary in an end of tenancy dispute, the TDS website provides a wealth of information, case studies and legal precedents to help guide landlords. Keep up the good work.
Mediation and the Renters’ Rights Act
From 1 May, under the Renters’ Rights Act, landlords are encouraged to consider mediation before starting court proceedings for tenancy breaches. Both landlords and tenants can start the mediation process. In addition to providing deposit protection, The Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) offers a mid-tenancy Tenancy Redress Service to help mediate and resolve disputes, including rent arrears, breaches of tenancy (for example poor property standards and disrepair), noise or anti-social behaviour (except serious anti-social behaviour). An impartial mediator listens to both sides and helps find a solution that works for everyone, with all discussions kept confidential. TDS can provide guidance and support throughout the mediation process, helping parties reach an agreement without going to court.
