Irrelevant deposit question – Completing N5B form?

3:16 PM, 30th May 2022, 4 years ago 5

Hi, I am trying to complete an N5B form and struggling to answer a question. At the beginning of the tenancy, I never took a deposit from the tenant so there is nothing to return and no scheme requirement.

Question 12 asks “was a deposit paid in connection with the current tenancy or any prior tenancy of the property to which the Defendant was a party?” to which I have replied No.

Question 13 then asks “Has the deposit been returned to the Defendant (or the person – if not the Defendant – who paid the deposit)?”

How do I reply to this question as obviously neither yes or no is relevant?

Many thanks

Colin
