The Order also brings into operation provisions relating to tenancy deposits. It provides that the amount of a tenancy deposit shall be no more than one month’s rent. In addition, it increases the time limits for requirements relating to tenancy deposits and provides that certain offences in connection with tenancy deposits shall be continuing offences.
