What’s Included in tenancy deposit dispute 6-Document Pack?

Every document in this pack is designed to meet the specific standards independent adjudicators expect to see when reviewing a tenancy deposit dispute.

1. Deposit Deduction Schedule (For Landlords): A structured, itemised schedule to list every deduction claimed. Includes dedicated columns for evidence references, amounts, and supporting notes to ensure your claim is professional and transparent.
2. Tenant Counter-Schedule (For Tenants): A formal rebuttal format that allows tenants to respond line-by-line to a landlord’s claims. Accept, partially accept, or dispute items while cross-referencing your own evidence.
3. Adjudication Submission Letter: A formal covering letter suitable for either party. It includes an evidence bundle index, a summary table of disputed items, and a section to clearly state your requested outcome.
4. Deposit Evidence Checklist: A pre-submission guide covering all categories of evidence, from tenancy agreements to financial records. Includes vital guidance on how adjudicators assess evidence and what “fair wear and tear” means in practice.
5. Check-in / Check-out Condition Report: The single most important document in any tenancy deposit dispute. This combined room-by-room report allows you to document property condition at both move-in and move-out using condition ratings and photo references.
6. Deposit Return Demand Letter (For Tenants): A formal letter for use when a landlord fails to return a deposit or respond to a dispute. Covers late protection, penalty rights, and next steps for County Court action.

Key Facts You Need to Know:

• The 10-Day Rule: Once a refund amount is agreed upon, the landlord should typically return the undisputed portion of the deposit within 10 days.
• Fair Wear and Tear: Landlords cannot deduct for “reasonable wear and tear”—the gradual deterioration of the property through normal use, such as worn carpets or faded paint.
• The 3-Month Deadline: If an agreement cannot be reached, you must usually raise a formal dispute with your scheme’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service within 3 months of moving out.
• Binding Decisions: The ADR service is free to use, and once an independent adjudicator reviews the evidence from both parties, their final decision is typically issued within 28 days to 6 weeks and is legally binding.
