520 _aThe ODPM is seeking organisations to run its proposed tenancy deposit schemes from October 2006. Two types of scheme are to be established: a custodial scheme where the landlord or agent would be required to pay the deposit to a third party and one or more insurance-based schemes where the landlord or agent would be required to retain the deposit and pay a premium to a designated third party for them to assure the return of the deposit to the tenant. Both types of scheme must include a dispute resolution scheme for settling disputes over deposits. RICS has signed up to an existing scheme - the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) run by the Dispute Service Ltd which is bidding for a contract to run an insured scheme.
