What about tenancies which fall outside the legislation i.e. non-Assured Shorthold Tenancies (non-ASTs)?
4.1 The majority of our tenancies are not AST tenancies. We wish to remain covered by a dispute resolution scheme for all our tenancies, but I understand if we join TDS that our contractual tenancies will be excluded – is this correct? We are unsure if we can be members of both schemes as it seems that one takes over from the other. We offer a dispute resolution service for all tenancies for which a member holds the deposit.
