Tenancy deposit protection regulations require landlords and letting agents to place tenants' deposits in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of receipt and provide prescribed information to tenants. The rules are set out in the Housing Act 2004 and subsequent amendments published via legislation.gov.uk, with oversight from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG, formerly DLUHC) and enforcement guidance from bodies including Propertymark and the Property Ombudsman. Watchdog HQ monitors changes to DEPOSIT weekly.
The DEPOSIT thread in the weekly brief includes every regulator update in the last seven days, severity ratings, deadline countdowns, and statute citations. Watchdog HQ delivers it every Monday at 06:00 UK time — one editorial brief, no inbox of alerts.
