WHERE THE LANDLORD MANAGES THE PROPERTY THEMSELVES (LET ONLY SERVICE)
- Landlords have to join one of the three schemes approved by the Government in order to handle their own deposits.
- Each scheme has it's own rules which bind the Landlord.
- The Landlord has 14 days from receiving the deposit to advise the Tenant where the deposit is held and to issue the
Prescribed Information as defined in the Housing Act 2004. - Failure to comply fully will result in the Landlord being liable to a fine of three times the deposit amount, payable
to the Tenant. In addition the Landlord may be ordered to repay the deposit to the Tenant with immediate effect
and will lose the usual right to obtain possession under the Act.

MYDEPOSIT PROTECTION SCHEME
From 6 April 2007 all landlords must protect tenants' bonds by registering them with a Government approved scheme
(see the Housing Act 2004). Joining one of the schemes is mandatory and the penalties for non-compliance are
considerable.
Where the property is Managed by Ritz Property Management
- Landlords will notice very little difference and we will guide you through the new regulations and processes as
the need arises. - Ritz Properties is an approved member of Mydeposits.
- The cost to the landlord to register deposits will be £58 on the issues of a new fixed term AST.
- Deposits are held by the Agent as Stakeholder which means that agreement between Landlord and Tenant must
be reached regarding any proposed deductions at the end of the tenancy. If deductions
can not be agreed amicably then the parties will be forced into arbitration via My Deposits. - Landlords can no longer hold the deposit themselves unless they are registered with an approved scheme in their
own right. - Tenants have the right to know which scheme their deposit is registered with and we will issue them with all the
information they need within the prescribed timescales thus protecting our Landlords from unnecessary legal action. - Tenants prefer to deal with a reputable managing agent in most cases as they know that their deposit will be
protected properly at all times.
