This is my first post, so bear with me. We rented a 2 bedroom house since Aug 2006 till Nov2009. We had paid a deposit of £1025, in Aug 2006. The tenancy agreement was initially for 6 months and then it got renewed for a year in Feb 2007 and again for a year in Feb 2008 and again for a year in Feb 2009. In none of these renewals was the deposit put in deposit protection scheme. Noe the landlord has decided not to return the deposit, not only that he has charged us a £1000 more for damages. I was planning to claim the deposit as it was not put under the Deposit protection scheme, but was confused since the deposit was paid in Aug 2006. But the contract was renewed a couple of times after April 2007. Are we still in a place to claim TDS. Please please please let me know.
