Demand for repayment of rent deposit
Use this letter to demand that your landlord repay your deposit if some or all or it remains unpaid after your tenancy ended. It applies to all residential tenancies in England, Wales or Northern Ireland where a deposit has been taken and should be used before starting a court claim (otherwise you risk the court refusing to give you an order for the costs of your claim).
If you have a tenancy where a deposit must be protected in a deposit protection scheme (such as an assured shorthold tenancy in England), the letter will lay out the consequences of failing to do this.
If it has been protected, the letter will warn the landlord of your intention to use the scheme's alternative dispute resolution service or take the matter to court.
Most documents take about 15 - 45 minutes
You can try the service out beforehand, and can save your progress at any time and come back to the document later.
