Why TDS?
Don't just take our word for it
As I previously had a letting agent for my property I was really unsure about how to take over management, especially around the deposit. Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) made this a stress free experience for me. Their customer service is excellent, providing friendly and timely advice. No question is too small and it feels like a very personal experience. Thank you TDS!
I’ve used the TDS for all my tenancies since protecting deposits with an independent organisation became law. After researching the schemes available, I decided to use the TDS for all my tenancies and have been very happy with the service and professionalism.
As well as the peace of mind of having such a professional organisation to act as an intermediary in an end of tenancy dispute, the TDS website provides a wealth of information, case studies and legal precedents to help guide landlords. Keep up the good work.
