Document background
The Deposit Rental Agreement is essential for residential tenancies in England and Wales where a security deposit is required. This document helps protect both landlord and tenant interests by clearly defining deposit terms, protection arrangements, and return conditions. It ensures compliance with statutory requirements, including the Housing Act 2004 and Tenant Fees Act 2019, which mandate deposit protection schemes and cap deposit amounts. The agreement typically includes details about permitted deductions, dispute resolution procedures, and specific conditions for deposit return at tenancy end.
