"As part of a Change of Landlord no funds will be returned to any party by The DPS and the transferring and Receiving Landlords are responsible for any financial recompense that may become due to Tenant(s) (such as through loss of interest) as a result of a Change of Landlord".
"Landlords must ensure that all information held by The DPS in relation to Tenancies, Tenants and Deposits for which they are responsible are up to date and factually correct".
"The terms and conditions of TDS continue to apply as long as the existing tenancy agreement remains in place, regardless of a change to the ownership or management of the business or the property, as long as the subscription continues to be paid".
"Members must promptly inform the tenants, and within no more than 10 working days, of those properties covered by TDS that they are transferring to another Member (or manager); or otherwise are ceasing to manage or own their properties. They must also tell them who is now managing the property and confirm either that the rules of TDS still apply (if the new manager is already a member of TDS) or that their deposit will be covered by another specified, designated scheme (if the new manager is not a member of TDS)."
