Deposit
If the Contract-Holder pays a deposit under this Contract (or another person pays a deposit on the Contract-Holder's behalf), the deposit must be dealt with in accordance with an authorised deposit scheme. Before the end of the period of 30 days starting with the day on which the deposit is paid, the Landlord must comply with the initial requirements of the authorised deposit scheme, and give the Contract-Holder (and any person who has paid the deposit on the Contract-Holder's behalf) the required information. The required information is such information as may be specified by the Welsh Ministers in regulations in accordance with Section 45 of the Act, relating to the authorised deposit scheme which applies, the Landlord's compliance with the initial requirements of the scheme, and the operation of Chapter 4 of Part 3 of the Act (Deposits and Deposit Schemes), including the Contract-Holder's rights (and the rights of any person who has paid the deposit on the Contract-Holder's behalf) in relation to the deposit. Upon the Contract-Holder vacating the Premises and after deduction of all agreed or authorised deductions, the balance of the Deposit shall be refunded to [the Contract-Holder] OR [the Relevant Person]. The Deposit will be held by the Agent as Stakeholder. The Agent is a member of The Dispute Service ("TDS"). Where a letting is Tenant Find, the landlord may use My Deposits (MYD) or The Deposit Protection Service (DPS) The Deposit will be taken for the following purposes:-
1. Any damage, or compensation for damage, to the Premises, its Fixtures and Fittings, or for missing items and cleaning or removal & disposal of furniture /rubbish for which the Contract-Holder may be liable, subject to an apportionment or allowance for fair wear and tear, the age and condition of each, and any such item at the commencement of the Contract, save for insured risks and repairs that are the responsibility of the Landlord;
2. The actual costs, provided that those costs are reasonable, incurred in compensating the Landlord for, or for rectifying or remedying any breach by the Contract-Holder of the Contract-Holder's obligations under the Contract, including those relating to the cleaning of the Premises and its Fixtures and Fittings, and contents;
3. Any unpaid accounts for utilities or water charges or environmental services or other similar services or Council Tax incurred at the Premises for which the Contract-Holder is liable;
4. Any rent or other money due or payable by the Contract-Holder under the Contract of which the Contract-Holder has been made aware and which remains unpaid after the end of the Contract including any monies properly due and payable by the Contract-Holder to the Agent;
5. Any penalty levied by a third-party organisation, such as a local authority, or block manager against the Landlord which has been caused by an action or inaction on the part of the Contract-Holder.
6. The Landlord may not require security (which includes a deposit) to be given in any form other than - a)money, or b) a guarantee (F+).
The Deposit is safeguarded with a deposit scheme. The Landlord or their Agent must tell the Contract-Holder within 10 working days of the end of the Contract if they propose to make any deductions from the Deposit.
If the Contract-Holder cannot be contacted at the end of the Contract then the Landlord shall apply for the release of the Deposit to cover their reasonable losses. If, once the Landlord's reasonable losses have been deducted, there remains some portion of the Deposit then it shall continue to be protected by the scheme for a period of six years whereupon the Landlord shall apply for it to be released and the remaining Deposit shall be given to charity.
If the Landlord cannot be contacted at the end of the Contract then the Contract-Holder shall apply to the scheme for the Deposit to be released to them. If there is no dispute the Landlord or their Agent will keep or repay the Deposit, according to the agreed deductions and the conditions of the Contract. Payment of the Deposit or any balance of it will be made within 10 working days of the Landlord and the Contract-Holder agreeing the allocation of the Deposit.
The Contract-Holder should inform the Landlord or their Agent in writing if the Contract-Holder intends to dispute any of the deductions required by the Landlord or the Agent from the Deposit within 10 working days of the Landlord or their Agent having complied with the requirements of Clause 11.1. The Independent Case Examiner ("ICE") may regard failure to comply with the time limit as a breach of the rules of the TDS and if the ICE is later asked to resolve any dispute may refuse to adjudicate in the matter. In the event of multiple Contract-Holders comprising the Contract-Holder, each of them agrees with the other(s) that any one of them may consent on behalf of all the others to use alternative dispute resolution through TDS to deal with any dispute about the Deposit at the end of the Contract. If, after 10 working days following notification of a dispute to the Landlord or their Agent and reasonable attempts having been made in that time to resolve any differences of opinion, there remains an unresolved dispute between the Landlord and the Contract-Holder over the allocation of the Deposit the dispute will be submitted to the ICE for adjudication. All parties agree to co-operate with the adjudication process. The statutory rights of the Landlord and the Contract-Holder to take legal action through the County Court remain unaffected by the Clauses above. If there is a change of Landlord during the Contract, the Contract-Holder shall consent to the transfer of the amount of the Deposit (or the balance of it) to the purchaser or transferee of the Premises at which point the Landlord shall be released from any further claim or liability in respect of the Deposit or any part of it, recognising that the Deposit is held and will continue to be held by the deposit scheme. The Landlord shall not be obliged to refund the Deposit or any part of the Deposit on any change in the person or persons who for the time being comprise "the Contract-Holder". Where more than one person is comprised for the time being in the expression "the Contract-Holder" the Deposit may be repaid to any one Contract-Holder and this repayment shall discharge the Landlord from any further liability in respect of the amount so repaid. Any goods or personal effects belonging to the Contract-Holder or members of the Contract-Holder's household which shall not have been removed from the Premises within 14 days after the expiry or sooner termination of the Contract created by this Contract shall be deemed to have been abandoned, provided that the Landlord shall have used their reasonable endeavours to give written notice of the same to the Contract-Holder. In such circumstances the Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such abandoned goods or personal effects as he shall see fit. The Contract-Holder shall indemnify the Landlord for any costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Landlord arising from the removal, storage or sale of such items. The Contract-Holder shall pay by way of damages to the Landlord any additional expenses which the Landlord shall have reasonably incurred in checking the Inventory and Schedule of Condition if the same could not reasonably be finalised until any goods or personal effects belonging to the Contract-Holder have been removed from the Premises.
