Rental deposit scheme ‘puts millions in the pockets of landlords’

Rental deposit scheme ‘puts millions in the pockets of landlords’

The news article discusses concerns about the rental deposit scheme in the UK, which campaigners claim is benefiting unscrupulous landlords at the expense of tenants. According to the article, almost a quarter of tenants have had money withheld from their deposits unfairly, and almost half of renters are unaware that they can challenge these deductions. Additionally, only 4% of tenants have used the formal dispute resolution process to try to reclaim their money. The article suggests that the current system is putting "millions in the pockets of landlords" and that reforms may be needed to better protect the rights of tenants.
