The deadline still matters
Your landlord may have protected your deposit eventually, but if it happened after the 30-day deadline, the rules may still have been broken.
Many renters see a scheme certificate and assume everything is fine. The protection date tells a different story.
RentersProtect checks your tenancy against the deposit protection rules at no cost.
Late paperwork counts too
Protecting the money is only part of the requirement. Your landlord also had to give you prescribed information within the same period.
A late certificate or missing documents can be part of the same breach, even when the deposit is now in a scheme.
Compensation is still possible
Late protection claims depend on dates, and dates are where most renters get stuck. Getting the timeline wrong can weaken or lose a claim.
RentersProtect checks your payment date against the scheme record so you know where you stand before taking any action.
