Document background
A Request For Security Deposit Letter is a crucial document in the property rental process in England and Wales. It serves as an official request for the tenant to provide a security deposit before occupying a property. The letter must adhere to strict regulatory requirements, including the 5-week rent cap for most tenancies under the Tenant Fees Act 2019. It typically includes details about the deposit amount, payment methods, deposit protection scheme, and deadline for payment. This document helps establish clear expectations and ensures compliance with legal requirements for both landlords and tenants.
