Transferring deposit between landlords

18 Jun 2020 | 1 comment

I manage a property for a landlord client who has sold the property to another landlord client. The deposit is held in the DPS custodial scheme. Do I need to unprotect the deposit, re-protect the deposit and re-issue the prescribed information?

    As far as we’re aware, with the DPS, you can move a deposit internally from one landlord reference to another.

    You should give new prescribed because of the change in landlord name.
