Lloyd
Russell-Moyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and
Local Government, whether the Government plans to include deposits of lodgers
in deposit insurance schemes.
Esther McVey:
The requirement to hold a deposit in a recognised tenancy deposit scheme is
restricted to landlords who let on assured shorthold tenancies. Most lodgers do
not hold assured shorthold tenancies, but should they do so, their deposits
would be covered by a recognised tenancy deposit scheme. The Government has no
plans to extend the scope of tenancy deposit schemes.
