Shelter's advice line saw a 40 per cent rise in calls about rent deposit issues last year .
It hopes that new laws on tenancy deposit schemes, will help when they are introduced later this year.
The new changes will mean that tenants will still be able to make a claim against their landlord after their tenancy ends, it will also block the loop hole that allowed landlords who were prosecuted for not placing a deposit in any of the registered schemes to sign up posthumously before the case comes to court, which did seem rather ridiculous.
Discounted landlord insurance and multiple quotes
Never knew about the loophole glad it has been closed.
