Claim compensation rightfully owed to you for your landlord's failure to uphold the law !
One of the biggest problems tenants face is claiming their deposit back after the tenancy ends. One of the main missions of The Tenants’ Voice is to help tenants defend their rights and ensure that their deposit is protected by a government scheme. The landlord is responsible by law to protect your money in a deposit protection scheme within 30 days of receiving the money.
Thanks to our partnership with Deposit Recovery Claims, you can make a claim against your landlord in court and win compensation between 1-3x the original deposit.

Don't let your landlord abuse the rules ! Act now !
Why is deposit protection important ? To address the growing problem of deposit abuse, the government introduced tenancy deposit protection.
As of April the 6th, 2007, all landlords are required to protect their tenants’ deposits in a government-backed scheme. The scheme keeps the money separate from the landlord and the tenant and eliminates abuse by either side. At the end of the tenancy, the money is returned to the tenant, unless there are any deductions and disputes between tenant and landlord. In that case, the scheme provides a dispute resolution service for free.
Landlords are required to submit the money in one of three operating schemes in England in 30 days from your payment. If the landlord fails, they are liable to pay you compensation. Depending on the circumstances, you can win between 1x and 3x the deposit amount in addition to the original deposit !
