Established in 2003, TDS is the longest serving government-approved deposit protection scheme. We are also the only not-for-profit scheme.
The Housing Act 2004 requires landlords and letting agents to protect deposits on assured shorthold tenancies in a scheme such as ours. We provide both insurance-backed and custodial tenancy deposit protection with free, impartial dispute resolution for when disagreements arise over how the money is divided.
The Dispute Service provides operational services for SafeDeposits Scotland Ltd, which is a custodial tenancy deposit scheme.
