Any reports of tenants successfully claiming 3 times deposit

Any reports of tenants successfully claiming 3 times deposit

3:36 PM, 23rd May 2014, 12 years ago 11

I am about to issue section 21 notices on two of my properties, I plan to sell one property and return to the UK and move into the other one.

I issued new AST’s in July 2013 so they have about 2 months to run. As both tenancies have been in place for several years I never got around to protecting the tenancies (stupid I know).

My relationship with both sets of tenants is pretty good. Are any forum members aware of actual cases where tenants have applied for and been award the maximum allowable penalty.

Many thanks

    Hi Rosalind, this would not work as once DPS has received the deposit they will send a dated receipt and deposit ref to the tenants.
