Salter stands up for tenants rights
|
||||
Reading West MP, Martin Salter, has joined a Shelter and Citizens Advice campaign to raise awareness of a new scheme that will help protect the money of tenants in Reading West.
The new law means that all new deposits for assured short hold tenancies (ASTs) will now have to be protected and requires all landlords to be in a Government-approved scheme, with sanctions against those who don’t comply. Mr Salter is calling for all private tenants in Reading West to make sure their landlord protects their deposits under this new law which comes into force on 6th April. Last year more than three-quarters of all tenants who had their money withheld claimed it was retained unfairly. With the average deposit now reaching £700 in England, losing a deposit can cause real hardship and lead to homelessness. Martin Salter MP said: “I am delighted to welcome the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme which will provide a vital safety net for both tenants and responsible landlords. I would encourage my constituents to ask their landlord or agent which scheme they are part before signing a new contract.” He added; “I have lost count of the number of tenants who have come to my surgeries who have had problems getting their deposit returned from their landlords – this scheme will help to stop them from being ripped off by dodgy landlords, and make renting safer and fairer for everyone.” 05/04/07
