Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) is a multi-award-winning, government-approved tenancy deposit protection service. We offer both insured and custodial deposit protection and provide fair adjudication for disputes relating to the deposits we protect. TDS Insured is the longest running insured deposit protection scheme in the UK.
TDS insured is completely free to join. You pay a small fee to protect each deposit, which means you can keep your deposit in your bank account for the duration of the tenancy, keeping the accrued interest.
At the end of the tenancy, you administer the repayment with the tenant. If the tenant disputes any deductions, we provide a free dispute resolution service.
