days of the end of the tenancy and the tenant will be liable for all reasonable costs of disposal. Where the tenant has provided a post
tenancy address, the landlord or agent will give the tenant notice at that address that items are to be collected within 10 days and if
the tenant fails to collect the items, the items will be disposed of and the tenant will be liable for all reasonable costs of disposal. The
costs may be deducted from any sale proceeds, bond, deposit or funds held and if there are any costs remaining, they will remain the
tenant’s liability.
121. The tenant is to have the property, carpets and oven cleaned at the end of the tenancy at the tenant’s expense and provide evidence
of receipts, if professionally cleaned prior or during the tenancy starting. It is also the same requirement if any item was new or re-
conditioned prior or during the tenancy. If proof of cleaning is not produced to the landlord or his appointed agent within 3 days of the
legal termination of the tenancy it is agreed the Landlord/agent will authorise a cleaner and the cost being the liability of the tenant
and may be deducted from the deposit, bond, or funds held or received and if there are any costs remaining they will remain the
tenants liability.
122. To have all chimneys and flues (if any) thoroughly swept and cleaned as often as necessary by a competent person within one month
prior to the termination of the tenancy and provide evidence in the form of a receipt.
123. The tenant agrees that any deposit re-payment received and or banked by the tenant at the end of the tenancy whether repaid in full
or part, is accepted as full and final settlement. The tenant irrevocably waives any further right to dispute dilapidations through the
County Court or deposit protection scheme which the deposit was protected with. The landlord reserves the right to make further
claim(s) if the dilapidation costs or rent arrears exceed the deposit amount held or further dilapidation/costs are incurred and
discovered at a later reasonable time.
124. The tenant is to supply a contact address when the tenancy comes to an end to which the deposit (if any) will be sent to.
125. The tenant gives irrevocable permission for any relevant authority or third party to disclose the tenant's whereabouts or forwarding
address if the tenant has left the property with rent or other monies owing.
126. The tenant gives irrevocable permission for the landlord or agent to discuss and obtain any information from any third party including
a utility company about the property, tenant or tenancy and for any third party to disclose the tenant’s whereabouts or forwarding
address if the tenant has left the property with rent or other monies owing.
Management Regulations
127. The tenant shall comply with any rules and regulations reasonably required by the landlord for the proper management or
improvement of the property. The landlord or agent will discuss any new rules and regulations with the tenant before they are
introduced and will take reasonable account of the tenant’s views.
Smoke Alarm and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Test Confirmation
128. IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED that where this is not a renewal tenancy, all smoke alarms and any carbon monoxide alarms (if any)
(“prescribed alarms”) at the tenancy address have been checked on or shortly before the day the tenancy begins (as shown on the

What is TDS?
The Dispute Service Ltd operates two tenancy deposit protection schemes, authorised by the government: Insured and Custodial. This leaflet
deals with the Insured scheme only. There is a separate leaflet for TDS Custodial.
TDS has two main roles:
• To protect deposits
• To help resolve disputes about deposits.
What is tenancy deposit protection?
Tenancy deposit protection applies to all deposits for assured shorthold tenancies that started in England or Wales on or after 6 April 2007. By
law, a landlord or agent who receives a deposit for such a tenancy must protect the deposit.

Most residential tenancies in the private rented sector are assured shorthold tenancies, with some exceptions. For example, a tenancy cannot
be an assured shorthold tenancy if:
 The tenant is a company
 The rent is more than £100,000 a year;
 The tenancy is for a holiday let; or
 a university or college rents the accommodation to its students
What does the tenancy deposit protection mean?
 Protecting a tenant’s deposit with a government-authorised scheme such as TDS;
 Providing the tenant with prescribed information about where their deposit is being protected and how it will be managed.
Tenancy deposit protection schemes can be one of two kinds:
Custodial – this is where the scheme itself holds the deposit during the tenancy.
Insurance backed – this is where the landlord or agent holds the deposit during the tenancy, but must give it to the scheme at the end of the
tenancy if there is a dispute. The scheme is insured because this guarantees that the tenants will always get the money back to which they are
entitled.
Each tenancy deposit scheme has its own rules setting out in detail how it operates.
The TDS Rules are available from the TDS website and on request
What are the legal requirements?
These are contained in sections 212 to 215 of, and Schedule 10 to, the Housing Act 2004 (as amended). Tenancy deposit protection applies to
money received by a landlord or agent that is meant to be held as security in case a tenant does not comply with their obligations.
The landlord or agent must comply with the initial requirements of an authorised tenancy deposit protection scheme within 30 days of receiving
the deposit.
To protect a deposit with Tenancy Deposit Scheme, the landlord or agent needs to:
 Belong to the scheme;
 Register the deposit on the TDS database;
 Pay a membership subscription or deposit protection charge.
A TDS member (landlord or agent) must also give the tenant ‘prescribed information’. This information is set out in the Housing (Tenancy
Deposits (Prescribed Information) Order 2007. It must also be given to anyone who paid the deposit on the tenant’s behalf.
The prescribed information includes,
 The contact details of the landlord and tenant;
 The rented property’s address;
 The deposit amount;
 This leaflet.
 Pay a membership subscription or deposit protection charge.
The landlord or agent must also specify which tenancy agreement clauses say how the deposit can be used.

11
Tenants must be given the opportunity to:
 Check any document the landlord provides containing prescribed information; and
 Sign it to confirm the information is accurate.
What if the landlord or agent does not comply?
A landlord or agent should protect the deposit in an authorised scheme and provide the tenant (and any sponsor) with the prescribed
information within 30 days of receiving the deposit.
If they don’t do so, then the tenant (or the person who paid the deposit) can take the landlord or agent to court. The court can order the landlord
or agent to protect the deposit or repay it to the tenant. The court can also order the landlord or agent to pay the tenant compensation of
between one and three times the deposit’s value.
A landlord who has not correctly protected a deposit cannot serve a notice to end the tenancy and regain possession of it under section 21 of
the Housing Act 1988. The landlord can only serve such a ‘section 21 notice’ after the deposit has been repaid or after any court case about the
deposit has ended.
A landlord who has not given the tenant prescribed information within 30 days must not issue a section 21 notice until the prescribed
information has been given. If this takes place more than 30 days after the landlord or agent received the deposit, the tenant can still apply to
court for compensation of between one and three times the deposit’s value.
TDS cannot award compensation to tenants if a landlord or agent fails to comply with the law relating to tenancy deposit protection. This can
only be dealt with by the courts.
Is my deposit protected?
Tenants can check if their deposit is registered with TDS by visiting www.tenancydepositscheme.com
• If tenants have received a Tenancy Deposit Protection Certificate, they should enter the code number from that certificate.
Alternatively, they can enter their surname, the deposit amount, the tenancy postcode, and the date their tenancy started.
• If a member informs TDS that the protection of a deposit should be ended, TDS will make reasonable efforts to inform the tenant
before ending the protection.
• If the tenancy has not ended, the tenant (or one of the joint tenants) can object to the ending of deposit protection by phoning the TDS
customer contact centre.
• If the tenancy has ended and the tenant is not satisfied with the proposed split of the deposit, then the tenant can ask TDS to resolve
the dispute within three months after the end of the tenancy.
What happens to the deposit after the landlord or agent receives it?
• The landlord or the agent will hold the deposit during the tenancy. The tenancy agreement should state who receives any interest it
makes
What happens to the deposit at the end of the tenancy?
• If there is no dispute about the return of the deposit at the end of the tenancy, the landlord or agent must pay the deposit to the tenant
without delay, less any deductions that the tenant has agreed.
Who raises a dispute if there is no agreement about the deposit return?
• If there is a dispute about the return of the deposit or about proposed deductions, the parties should try to reach agreement without
delay. Most disputes are resolved informally in this way. But if the deposit has not been returned to the tenant within 10 days of the
tenant asking for it, the Housing act 2004 allows the tenant to ask TDS to resolve the dispute.
If there is a dispute what happens to the deposit?
The landlord or agent can make a payment from the deposit if:
 Both landlord and tenant have agreed; or
 The court has ordered the deposit to be paid; or
 TDS directs to send the money to TDS.
Once TDS has been asked to resolve a deposit dispute, the landlord or the agent must send the disputed amount to TDS. By this time, the
landlord or agent should have paid the tenant any part of the deposit that is not an agreed deduction or in dispute.
If whoever is holding the deposit does not send the disputed deposit amount to TDS, TDS will take legal action to recover it. This will not delay
TDS in resolving the dispute. If the deposit holder cannot pay the disputed amount, for example because it has become insolvent, TDS will
arrange the adjudication, pay the tenant the amount awarded by the adjudicator and make a claim to its insurers. The law requires TDS to
guarantee only that the tenant receives the amount they are entitled to.
How are disputes resolved?
 The tenant will ask TDS to resolve the dispute by going online at www.tenancydepositscheme.com and completing a Dispute
Application Form giving details of the dispute.
 The deposit holder must then send the disputed amount to TDS. TDS will copy the dispute details to the agent or landlord who is
to respond to the dispute and give them 10 working days to do so. The agent or landlord will need to confirm that they want TDS to
resolve the dispute, and send in their evidence. After this the tenant will also be given 10 working days to respond to the
agent’s/landlord’s evidence, and send in any evidence that they also wish the adjudicator to consider.
 If all the parties agree to TDS resolving the dispute, TDS will appoint an impartial adjudicator to make a binding decision, normally
within 28 days of receiving the parties’ consent to resolving the dispute and receiving the evidence they wish to be considered. If
landlords and agents do not reply, they are treated as consenting to TDS resolving the dispute. In all these cases, the adjudicator will
normally make a decision within 28 days after the deadline for receipt of evidence.
 Within a further 10 days or less of the adjudicator’s decision, TDS will pay the amount due to each party.
 The adjudicator’s decision will be based only on the evidence sent to TDS – there will be no hearing or visit to the property.
 The adjudicator’s decision is final. There is no right of appeal to TDS or to the government department in charge of the tenancy
deposit protection schemes.
Further details are set out in The Tenancy Deposit Scheme Rules for the Independent Resolution of Tenancy Deposit Disputes at
www.tenancydepositscheme.com

1. If a letting Agent or Landlord is using TDS DIRECT only the tenant can raise a dispute. Agents and landlords cannot raise a dispute if they are using TDS
DIRECT. TDS may at its discretion allow an agent or landlord to raise a dispute, where this has been agreed in advance as part of that agent or landlord’s
membership of the scheme. Where this is the case, the agent/landlord will send in their evidence at the same time as completing a Dispute Application Form
giving details of the dispute. After this the tenant will be given 10 working days to respond to the agent’s/landlord’s evidence, confirm that they want TDS to
resolve the dispute, and send in any evidence that they also wish the adjudicator to consider
What if the landlord or tenant can’t be contacted at the end of the tenancy?
TDS cannot resolve a dispute if it cannot contact the parties to get their consent to TDS being involved. In these circumstances, the deposit
holder must do the following:
1. Assess any damage, rent arrears and any other likely deductions from the deposit as they would normally do.
1. Split the deposit, pay the party who is present the appropriate amount, and transfer the amount due to the absent tenant/landlord to a
suitably chosen ‘Client suspense (bank) account’.
2. Make a formal record of all actions taken, supported by appropriate documentation.
After enough time (usually at least six years) has passed from the last contact with the absent tenant/landlord, the deposit holder may then
donate the absent party’s share to a suitable registered charity – subject to a binding promise from the deposit holder that it would immediately
pay from its own pocket any valid claim it later received from the beneficial or legal owner.
If the absent tenant/landlord returns within that time and seeks to dispute the allocation of the deposit, TDS may offer to adjudicate.
Is adjudication better than going to court?
Deposit disputes need to be resolved quickly and cheaply. Tenants usually need the money as a deposit on their next property, and landlords
need to know how much will be available to spend on things like redecoration, damage or repairs. Going to court takes time and can be
expensive and stressful.
If TDS protects a deposit and the dispute goes to court, the disputed amount must be sent to TDS. TDS will distribute the deposit once it
receives a final court order showing what is to happen to the deposit. However if a tenant or landlord does not take their dispute to the County
Court within 6 months of refusing consent for TDS to resolve the dispute, TDS may it its discretion return the disputed deposit it is holding to the
other party who did not refuse consent.
TDS can only resolve a dispute if the deposit has been registered with TDS. If a deposit has not been registered, the parties will have to go to
court if they cannot agree a settlement.
Sometimes landlords or tenants prefer to go to court. It might be better for a landlord to go to court if they have a big claim that is well above the
deposit. It might be better for a tenant to go to court if they have a counterclaim – say if they had to pay for boiler repairs because the heating
did not work for several weeks. TDS cannot deal with counterclaims.
Where TDS cannot accept a dispute for adjudication, TDS will notify any other party to the dispute that this has happened. The other party to
the dispute may then choose to go to court or rely on the agent’s judgment if the agent is holding the deposit.
What can TDS deal with?
Using the TDS dispute resolution service is not compulsory. If either the landlord or tenant does not agree to use the service, one of them could
choose to go to court.
TDS can only deal with disputes about the deposit itself, and cannot make awards that are for more than the disputed deposit. If a larger
amount is disputed, you may need to go to court. TDS cannot deal with counterclaims by tenants – such as a claim for disrepair. If you are a
tenant and you wish to bring a counterclaim against your landlord, you will need to go to court.
TDS cannot deal with disputes between individual tenants, or between landlords and their agents. TDS does not act as a regulator and cannot
order changes in trading practices, close down businesses, or prosecute landlords or agents. However, it does try to raise standards in the
private rented sector by educating tenants, landlords and agents about the cause of disputes and how to avoid them.
How much does it cost?
TDS is funded by the membership subscriptions and deposit protection charges that letting agents and landlords pay. All these fees are on the
TDS website. TDS makes no charge to tenants for protecting the deposit. There is no charge to landlords, tenants or agents for having a
dispute resolved.
Who can join the Tenancy Deposit Scheme?
The Tenancy Deposit Scheme is open to landlords & letting agents offering residential property for rent. They will be asked to provide relevant
information-as set out in the TDS Rules - to TDS before it decides whether they can be accepted as a member, and what their subscription will
be.
Our guarantee of impartiality
TDS is overseen by a Board, which is responsible for operating and financing the business. The Board, and the TDS management, have no role
in resolving disputes and cannot intervene in decisions about disputes.
The scheme’s Director of Dispute Resolution is responsible for resolving disputes. The most usual method for resolving a dispute through TDS
is to use adjudication but the scheme may suggest negotiation, mediation or other methods.
Adjudicators work fairly and impartially. All TDS adjudicators belong to the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and comply with our Adjudicator
Code of Conduct, which is available on the TDS website. The adjudicators make decisions without favour, based on the issues in dispute and
the evidence provided.
TDS publishes breakdowns of awards in its Annual Reports. These give an overview of how awards are split between tenants, landlords and
agents. You can see the adjudicator’s decision-making guidelines and some example case studies at www.tenancydepositscheme.com
Data Protection
TDS will not use landlords’ or tenants’ personal data for any purpose except to operate the scheme (this includes compiling statistical data) and
resolve disputes.
From time to time, TDS may invite landlords or tenants to participate in surveys. If you do not wish to be contacted for survey purposes, please
inform TDS by letter or email to the contact details given in this leaflet.

Information leaflet for the control of legionella in hot and cold water systems for
occupiers of residential property

We are committed to protecting the health and safety of our tenants and employees and recognise that the risks from legionella bacteria may
arise within your home.
Legionnaires’ disease is a form of pneumonia caused by the legionella bacteria and can kill. Legionella are bacteria common in natural rivers,
lakes and artificial water systems such as hot and cold water systems, storage tanks, pipe work, taps and showers.

Other possible sources of legionella include spa and whirlpool baths, humidifiers, drinking water systems, water features, garden hoses and
sprinklers.

Legionella bacteria can survive in low temperatures, but thrive between 20°C and 45°C. Temperatures above 50°C will kill the bacteria. The
infection is caused by the inhalation of water droplets or spray-mists which have been contaminated by the bacteria. Those most at risk include
elderly people, smokers, heavy drinkers and those suffering from long term illness. It is not contracted through drinking contaminated
water and cannot be passed from person to person.

The risk is very small but to ensure legionella remains under control, always ensure you do the following:

• ensure the temperature of the hot water setting on the boiler is set to at least 55 degrees (but no more than 60 degrees) and if there is
a hot water cylinder ensure the thermostat is set to at least 55 degrees (up to 60 degrees)
• before you move in and if you go away for more than a week heat the water to 60 degrees for at least one hour and then run all taps
on full heat for at least 5 minutes. Shower heads should be placed on the tray or in the bath before being turned on
• tell your landlord if the hot water doesn't heat up properly or your cold water becomes too warm
• shower heads must be dismantled, disinfected and cleaned quarterly or as indicated by the rate of fouling. If occupants have a long
term illness, smoker, heavy drinker or elderly, cleaning should be more regular
• if there are any unused taps for example an outside garden tap or unused second toilet with hand basin, these must be run weekly
throughout the tenancy
• if there is a spa pool (hot tub, whirlpool bath, spa bath etc.) this MUST be disinfected AFTER EVERY USE according to the
manufacturers instructions.

Keep it clean, Keep it moving, keep the hot, hot and the cold, cold.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Raising the temperature of warm water is one way to control legionella growth, but could also increase the risk of burns and scalding. Please
take care especially if you have children.

or other indulgence without affecting the guarantor liability under this guarantee.
GUARANTEE CONTINUES INTO PERIODIC TENANCY: For the avoidance of doubt, the guarantor obligations under this guarantee continue
during any periodic tenancy (including statutory periodic tenancy), and includes any rent increases and includes any re-grant of a tenancy.
The guarantor may not revoke this guarantee (whether during the fixed term, during any periodic tenancy or new tenancy granted) by notice or
otherwise, unless a new suitable guarantee is provided to take effect from the time this guarantee is revoked.
