Letter Returning Holding Deposit - No Tenancy Granted

From 1 June 2019, under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, a "holding deposit" is a permitted payment up to a maximum of 1 week's rent. However, a particular procedure must be followed when handling holding deposits.

This template informs the payer of the holding deposit that the landlord or agent (or whoever received the holding deposit) has repaid the holding deposit, and the landlord has decided not to proceed with a tenancy. The letter is in Word format and can be edited to suit.
