Deposit Negotiation Services

A structured process to agree fair deposit deductions at end of tenancy, working alongside the inventory and check-out report. 3C Core acts as a neutral facilitator between landlord and tenant — separate from formal deposit dispute schemes (TDS, DPS, MyDeposits) but can be used before escalating to those schemes.

• • Faster than formal dispute schemes (which can take months)
• • Less confrontational — preserves the landlord-tenant relationship
• • Evidence-based: uses inventory, photos, and receipts
• • Cost-effective for both parties

1. Step 1: Both parties register their positions via the portal
2. Step 2: 3C Core reviews all evidence (inventory, photos, receipts)
3. Step 3: A fair deduction schedule is proposed
4. Step 4: Parties negotiate with 3C Core facilitating
5. Step 5: Agreed deductions documented and signed by both parties
6. Step 6: Deposit returned/deducted accordingly

All deposits must be protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of tenancy start:

• • Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS)
• • Deposit Protection Service (DPS)
• • MyDeposits

If your deposit is not protected, contact us immediately.
