Tenancy Deposit Protection Survey

How much do you know about Tenancy Deposit Protection (TDP)?

From 6 April 2007, when a landlord or letting agent takes a deposit from a tenant, the deposit must be protected in a Government-authorised tenancy deposit scheme. This rule applies if the tenancy is an assured shorthold tenancy.

Dr Gary Jones from the University of Winchester has recently conducted some research with landlords, and is now focussing his research on student perceptions of TDP. If you would like to participate in the survey, please click here. The NUS is also promoting this survey on their website and you can view the article here. The survey will remain live until 3 December 2010.
