I'm told that if you don't protect the Bond via an approved protection scheme (since law introduced)and you subsequently have to evict a tenent then section 21 proceedings will not provide protections or can't be used!
Can anyone confirm this as it could have massive implications.

A landlord is not allowed to serve a section 21 notice if they have not adherred to the regultions of the deposit scheme or has not given the tenant information about the law relating to the deposit and the scheme itself.
You have fourteens day to lodge this and notify your tenant accordingly. Failure to do so, could result in having to pay your tenants 3 x the monthly rental as compensation.
It is prudent to protect these online, print out the necessary notes for the tenants. Send 2 of these via registered post and via proof of posting to ensure safe reciept. Print out the signed confirmaton of registered deliveru receipt from royal mail website. This could be the most important document if the tenant confirms they never received + you have proof it was signed for. It also would be prudent to email this to them also. At lease this way there is no absence of doubt it was not received.
Requesting that your tenant signs confirming this, return documents to you, for you to countersign. On execution of these, send them the signed originals to them and retain one for yourselve.

Solution from a landlord of 25 yrs experience. Dont take a deposit !
Instead take an extra months rent in advance...and make it a contractual term to maintain a 2 months in advance status ! No hassle....just send me a few kisses !
ps: I have checked this with solicitor and housing officers at my local council too.
