Deposit Prescribed Information (England)

The information about a protected deposit that a landlord in England must give the tenant within 30 days of receiving it.

Who it's for

For landlords and letting agents in England who have taken a tenancy deposit. It covers the prescribed information in article 2 of the Housing (Tenancy Deposits) (Prescribed Information) Order 2007. It is not for Wales, which no longer uses that order.

A Pro template. You can fill it in and preview it for free; creating it needs AgreeVia Pro.

Status

Check before use

This template has been reviewed by AgreeVia, but not by a solicitor. Send the deposit scheme's own leaflet with it. It is a starting point, not legal advice: if it is wrong it can have serious consequences, so read the finished document carefully and check it suits your situation before anyone signs. In the app, after you preview it and before you invite anyone to sign, you confirm that you have read it and that AgreeVia does not give legal advice, and we keep a record of that.

What it covers

  • Who the information is for: the landlord, any letting agent, the tenants and anyone else who paid the deposit
  • The deposit, the property and when the deposit can be kept back
  • The scheme, its contact details and how the deposit is repaid or disputed
  • The landlord's certificate, and the tenant's confirmation

What you fill in

  • Your details, and optionally your letting agent's
  • Up to four tenants, and contact details for the end of the tenancy
  • The property address
  • The deposit amount, when you received it and when you protected it
  • The scheme (DPS, mydeposits or TDS), the type of protection and the scheme's contact details
  • When the deposit can be kept back

Clauses you can switch on or off

Each optional clause shows its full wording before you decide. Defaults are shown in brackets.

  • Letting agent (off)
  • Someone else paid the deposit (off)

Then send it to sign

  1. Fill it inAnswer a few plain questions and switch optional clauses on or off. You see a preview before anything is created.
  2. Add who signsChoose people from your contacts, or send a link by email to anyone else.
  3. They sign on their phoneThe tenant opens the link in their browser and signs to confirm they have received it. They don't need an account or the app.
  4. Keep the proofEveryone gets the signed PDF. Every view and signature goes into a tamper-evident audit trail, and you can generate an evidence package and check the document at agreevia.co.uk/verify.
