Tenancy Deposit Scheme

[spyinthesky]

Any one know if the rules have changed for 'Find Tenant Only' clients?

 

My wife rents out her Mothers house (to pay the £35k per year Dementia Care package!!) and the tenants deposit has been kept with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme for 4 years with no issues.

 

Have just received a letter from the Estate Agent, who found the tenant and arranged the deposit scheme, to advise that any change to the tenancy agreement requires a change to the tenancy agreement at a cost of £25.

 

All seems a bit odd

Sounds a bit suspicious to me; I would take a look at the TDS website - there's loads of information there for both tenants and landlords. I'm at the other end of the scale - a conscientious tenant just in the process of moving out and wanting to make sure I don't get shafted over my deposit!
