Landlords + Tenants
💷 Deposits
Protected. Tracked. Resolved
Background
Why
Deposits are meant to protect both parties — but more often, they end in confusion, conflict, or legal risk.
Landlords forget to register them properly. Tenants don’t know where their money went. Disputes get personal instead of procedural.
F.estate makes deposits visible, verifiable, and fully tied to the rental journey — from lease signing to tenancy end — so you don’t have to panic later.
What
Deposits on F.estate are:
- Registered with approved schemes (TDS, DPS, MyDeposits)
- Synced with leases, inventory, inspections, and deductions
- Tracked for status, amount, and release timing
- Visible to both parties throughout the tenancy
- Disputed with evidence already attached
How it works
🏦 Landlord enters scheme information
When a lease is created, landlords are prompted to input deposit details — including the holding scheme and contact info.
📲 Deposit is tracked in-app
At each relevant step, we ask for confirmation or documentation — and update the status. Everyone involved can see what’s registered, what’s missing, and what’s next.
🧾 Deductions tracked through ending inspections
When a tenancy ends, any proposed deductions are linked to inspection reports, media, and item values — making resolution fast, fair, and transparent.
🔔 Prompts for compliance
Whether something’s missing or at risk of expiring, we’ll notify you in advance. Landlords stay compliant. Tenants stay protected.
User Benefits
🔍 Full transparency
Both landlord and tenant can always see the deposit’s status, holder, and scheme — no chasing.
🧾 Fair deductions
Any charges are backed by inspection reports, inventory, photos, and timestamps — not hearsay.
✅ Legal peace of mind
Everything is designed to meet UK deposit protection laws and reduce the risk of fines or disputes.
