TDS have been asked to consider the matter for a report of adjudication as the tenancy deposit was registered by a letting agent member under our TDS Insured scheme. As part of our alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and our Membership Rules we have requested and have been provided with the tenancy deposit sum as sent by our member in a sum of £1940.00 awaiting the evidence to be considered by the adjudicator. TDS will act independently of the parties suing the evidence provided once gathered to make any awards as determines and to distribute the tenancy deposit as per our report.
