Short term letting and tenancy deposit schemes
I am about to take on 3mth short-term let which is renewable and negotiable at the end of the tenancy. The landlord/agent has informed me that this lease is considered as a short-let as opposed to an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) and therefore does not require to register the deposit into an approved tenant deposit protection scheme - is this correct? I have been told that it will be 'transferred to a separate account' and 'kept there until the end of your stay'. Just curious to find out if the deposit needs to be appropriately protected. Thanks

I have added a link for you to read through. I would check and double check what you are agreeing to. If in doubt, find another property.
