When you start renting a home from a private landlord, you will usually pay a deposit. Your landlord must protect your deposit under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. This scheme makes sure you’ll get your deposit back when you move out if you looked after the property and paid your rent.
TDS is the longest running Government Approved Scheme; not-for-profit government approved scheme protecting millions of tenancy deposits since 2003
