Here is a question to the blog clinic from Terence who is a landlord.
“I am classified as a ‘Resident Landlord’ occupying 1 of 5 flats in a Victorian house converted into 5 flats in the 90’s. I have lived there since 1982.
I understand that my tenancies therefore cannot be Assured Shorthold Tenancies or Shorthold Tenancies but are classified as Non-excluded Tenancies. I understand that I, therefore, do not need to, in fact, cannot use Tenancy Deposit Protection (TDP) schemes because in law they only apply to Assured Shorthold Tenancies or Shorthold Tenancies. Is this correct, please?”
