Tenancy Deposit Protection research launched

How much do you know about Tenancy Deposit Protection, and if you paid a deposit to your landlord - is it protected?
  • Find this useful?

Since 6 April 2007, landlords in England and Wales have been required by law to protect any deposits or bonds given to them by their tenants as security against loss or damage to the property. The aim of this electronic survey is to obtain the views and experiences of students in relation to tenancy deposit protection (TDP).

Dr Gary Jones at the University of Winchester is carrying out research to explore what students know about TDP.

You can access the survey here.

The survey should take about twenty minutes to complete and does not require any personal details, and therefore is completely anonymous.

Participation in the survey is entirely voluntary, and the information you provide will be kept confidential. The piece of research is not sponsored by any individual or organisation, and so it is a completely independent piece of research.

If you have any questions about this independent piece of research, please contact Dr Gary Jones here.
