Tenants and landlords beware!
We rented a house from leaders in December 2015 and throughout our tenancy the service from them has been dreadful. Indeed upon leaving this year we found out are initial deposit wasn’t protected in the tenancy deposit scheme until February 2017. It’s supposed to be protected within 30 days. Not doing so is a breach of the housing act. Penalties can be between 1 and 3 times the deposit back to the tenant as compensation. This is the landlords responsibility so it’s them that would end up in county court, out of pocket not leaders. When we mentioned it to leaders we were told they are a big company and our deposit was always safe. I would encourage any current tenant to check on the tds website if their deposit is protected and if it isn’t get what your owed. Also anybody that has had a tenancy with leaders in the past 6 years should check if their deposit was protected, because you can still claim for six years after the original breach. I would say to any landlord to be wary of using leaders, the deposit is your responsibility and because of how incompetent leaders are you may end up in court. They took 2 years to fix our boiler so I can imagine that we were not the only ones that they haven’t protected the deposit for. A truly awful company with staff that treat their tenants as scum.
