Motion Text

That this House notes that, according to NACAB, nearly half of all tenants have suffered from the problem of their landlord not returning their deposit when they leave; congratulates the Government on the success of the recent government pilot scheme to hold rental deposits independently to prevent landlord-tenant disputes; notes with concern the prospect of the scheme discontinuing; and joins NACAB in calling for the Government to extend the scheme nationwide.
