Multiple breach claims are when your landlord has breached their tenancy agreement or deposit protection in more than one way. Instead of making a claim for just one breach, tenants may be able to claim for each individual breach and potentially receive up to three times the value of their deposit for each breach.
This means that if we can identify multiple breaches, you may be entitled to a much larger amount of compensation than you would be if you only make a claim for one breach. The Tenant Helpline can assist tenants with identifying and making multiple breach claims to ensure that they receive the compensation they are entitled to.
Multiple breach claims can also apply to each of the three tenancy deposit schemes. These schemes are the Deposit Protection Service (DPS), MyDeposits, and the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). Each of these schemes has its own rules and regulations regarding how deposits are protected, and they can all be breached multiple times.

How much you get depends on two things: the amount of your deposit and the number of breaches that took place.
If your deposit was £1,000 and your landlord failed to protect it properly, you could be entitled to compensation of up to three times the deposit value, which is £3,000.
When there are multiple breaches in a tenancy agreement or deposit protection, the compensation can increase significantly. For example, if there are two additional breaches on top of the original one (three in total), the compensation amount could potentially be up to three times the deposit value for each breach.
So, if the deposit value was £1,000, the compensation amount for each breach would be £3,000. With three breaches in total, the compensation amount would be up to nine times the deposit value, which in this example would be £9,000.
This is why it’s important to thoroughly review your tenancy agreement and the protection of your deposit to identify any potential breaches and seek compensation for each one.
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.
