Requesting return of tenancy deposit paid by council because the landlord has breached the contract

If a council homelessness team has paid deposit money to a private landlord to secure a tenancy, it is good practice for the payment to be subject to an agreement which provides for the money to be paid back to the council in certain circumstances.

A contract can ensure that prevention funds used for paying deposits can be recycled when the tenancy ends.

Use this letter to request that the money is paid back to the council when the landlord has breached the contract, e.g. by not informing the council that the tenancy has ended, or by not inviting the council to the 'check out' inspection.
