Deposits & Moving
Getting your deposit back and moving in safely.
Deposit protection and getting it back
Your deposit must be in a government-backed scheme within 30 days — how to check, and how to dispute unfair deductions.
Moving in: checks before you sign
The inventory, right-to-rent checks, the documents a landlord must give you (EPC, gas safety), and avoiding rental scams.
Right to Rent: proving your status to a landlord
Landlords in England must check every adult tenant's immigration status — you prove yours with a share code from your eVisa, and discrimination is illegal.
