A recent court case has underscored the importance of meticulous attention to detail in tenancy administration. A landlord’s Section 21 claim was rejected after it was revealed that the “prescribed information” for the deposit protection scheme had been issued one day before the deposit was actually paid. While this might seem like a minor oversight, it had significant legal consequences. This case serves as a reminder that even small administrative errors can have a major impact, making it crucial for landlords to ensure all tenancy paperwork is precisely accurate.
