Three tenants who paid a deposit of £1,300 to a landlord received two deposit protection penalties against their former landlord and letting agent at trial today.
The three tenants were awarded penalties of 2.3x their deposit under s.214(4) of the Housing Act 2004 for each of their two tenancies. The landlord and his agent had tried to argue that the tenants agreed that their deposit did not need to be protected in accordance with the legal requirements surrounding deposits. The judge dismissed these arguments stating that the legislation does not allow landlords and tenants to contract out of the deposit protection legislation. The judge, exercising discretion, awarded deposit protection penalties for each of their two tenancies for 2.3x the deposit for each tenancy totalling £5,980 plus costs. Represent Law acting for the successful tenants states that this is an emphatic indication from the court that landlords cannot force tenants to allow them to fail to protect their deposits in accordance with the law. Represent Law has successfully obtained a pre-trial settlement of a deposit protection claim for £3,500 for the claim and £2,637.48 for costs.

The tenant rented a room in a HMO in London and paid a tenancy deposit of £1,000 which was not protected in a government-backed deposit protection scheme. Also the tenant's deposit wasn't returned to her after she moved out of the property. Represent Law issued court proceedings and the landlord defended the proceedings stating that the tenant's deposit didn't need to be protected since she had a "license to occupy" and not a tenancy and hence her deposit didn't need to be protected. After obtaining legal advice, the landlord settled the claim in full in an out-of-court settlement. Once again, Represent Law is delighted that we have secured the maximum 3x settlement for our client and the license to occupy argument was clearly a sham. This shows that landlords face serious consequences if they fall to comply with their legal obligations and not protect tenants' deposits.
