  • Deposit received BEFORE 6.4.07 on a fixed-term AST which became statutory periodic on or after 6.4.07 – Landlord’s had until 23.6.2015 to protect deposit and serve prescribed information, to avoid s21 restrictions and s214 penalty.
  • Deposit received ON or AFTER 6.4.07, BUT before 6.4.12 – landlord had to protect deposit, and serve prescribed information by 6.5.12 to avoid s21 restrictions and s214 penalty.
  • Deposit received FROM 6.4.2012 until present day – landlord  has just 30 days to protect deposit and serveprescribed information to avoid s21 restrictions and s214 penalty.
  • If AST is renewed, or statutory periodic tenancy arises after a fixed-term, there is no need to re-protect the deposit, or re-serve prescribed information.
