Find out what you could claim in under 30 seconds.
The compensation you receive depends on two things: the amount of your deposit and the number of breaches that took place.
Use our free deposit claim checker to see if your landlord may have broken the rules. It only takes 30 seconds and gives you an idea of how much compensation you could be owed.
If it looks like you have a claim, our housing law team will review your tenancy documents and explain your options clearly. There’s no cost, no obligation, just straight answers.
If you decide to go ahead, we’ll prepare your claim and deal directly with your landlord. You won’t have to confront them yourself, and you’ll pay nothing unless your claim is successful.
If the claim is upheld, you could be awarded up to three times the value of your deposit. The money goes straight to you, giving you closure and the fair outcome you deserve.
Courts can award a penalty of between 1x and 3x the deposit per tenancy if the landlord failed to comply with the deposit protection rules. If your tenancy was renewed or became periodic, each tenancy where non-compliance continued may be considered separately. The exact amount is at the court’s discretion and depends on the facts. We’ll review your paperwork and tell you what’s realistically achievable.
Examples
• Deposit £1,000. One non-compliant tenancy: possible award between £1,000 and £3,000.
• Deposit £1,000. Two consecutive non-compliant tenancies: possible awards assessed separately for each tenancy, each between £1,000 and £3,000.

Contact us today and let us help you claim the compensation you are entitled to for breaches of your tenancy agreement or deposit protection.
If your landlord didn't protect your deposit, you likely have a claim with your tenancy agreement as proof.
Even if your deposit was protected, but after 30 days of payment, you may still have a claim.
No information from your landlord about approved deposit protection may indicate you have a potential case for claim.
Refusal or inability to return deposit may indicate they haven't protected your deposit properly and that you may have a claim.
Deposit must remain protected by approved scheme throughout tenancy, including extensions beyond initial agreement.
Free dispute resolution is available through approved deposit protection schemes for unjustified deduction of deposit potentially due to unprotected status.
