How do I record a protected tenancy deposit?

What LetTrack does

LetTrack records and tracks your deposit protection so you have a clear, dated record and a reminder of the deadline. It does not register the deposit for you or hold any money — you protect the deposit with your chosen government-authorised scheme, then record it here.

Recording a protected deposit

Open the tenancy and use the deposit section. You can enter:

• the scheme — Deposit Protection Service (DPS), MyDeposits, or Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS)
• the scheme reference number
• the date you protected it

Then choose Mark deposit protected. Once saved, the tenancy shows the deposit as protected, with the date. (The deposit amount itself is captured when you set up the tenancy, not here.)

The 30-day deadline

For assured tenancies, LetTrack tracks the 30-day window from the tenancy start date. Until you record protection you'll see a countdown, or an overdue flag once the window has passed — so nothing slips.

What you still do yourself

LetTrack doesn't register the deposit with the scheme, manage the money, or serve the prescribed information — those remain your responsibility. LetTrack keeps the record and the reminder.
