Tenancy Deposit Schemes coming to Ireland

Interesting news on the Tenancy Deposit Scheme side of things - TDS has only been mandatory for a few months in Scotland and the schemes are now being launched across the water in Northern Ireland.

Having officially been launched last November, deposit protection will become mandatory across the province from 1 April 2013. Like in Scotland, the aim is to protect tenants from rogue landlords and making it easier and safer to store and return deposits.

Whilst many tenants in Scotland are still unaware of the (not so) new legislation, Northern Irish The Dispute Service are planning a roadshow over the next few months to inform landlords of their new obligations and tenants of their rights.
